RE: Countries where I could retire today

in LeoFinance3 years ago (edited)

Yeah. I understand why South Africa was blue on the map. I would have expected that. It was Libya that surprised me.

If you'd told me there were 2 blue countries in Africa I would have guessed South Africa as number 1 but I would probably have gone for Egypt next. Presumably Libya is there because of oil. But then a lot of African countries are rich in natural resources.

I have NO clue why Libya is up there as far as I know they have a civil war so I guess that does drive up the cost of living as it’s harder to get goods in and trading partners but I can’t be sure

I’ve been to egypt and I could see it being a power house it has potential but it’s been really poorly managed as most African countries are and it’s so run down in many places

You’d think a tourist and oil combination would have a country booming!

Not exactly an attractive proposition for retirement. 😂

Precisely!
