Top 10 Places to retire or live in 2019

What a wonderful, eclectic list of the top 10 places to retire or live in 2019. I’m not going to ruin it by listing them all. Just a sneak peek!

 

3. Mazatlan, Mexico – Mexico is still the #1 choice for Americans to live and invest overseas. Mazatlan is a beautiful colonial city with 21st-century amenities. A manageable-sized city of 650,000 people on the western coast of Mexico. With amazing beaches, great food, and very close to the USA, for those that want to travel back home quickly.

 

6. Occitanie, France – If you thought France would be just too expensive, think again! This country living city in France has everything you could want or desire, and that’s why it’s made the list of best cities to retire in 2019. Think of the movie ‘Beauty & the Beast’ and that’s Occitanie.

 

9. Citta Sant’ Angelo, Italy – Another European City on the list! Fantastic, a small town in Italy. Think about Citta as a Tuscany that you can afford. Europe is more affordable than you think.
