1200$ = 7000 HRK which is almost half of salary of parliament member here,so you could live pretty good with that here in Croatia.And when it comes to retirement part,yes that is a bit tricky if you want stable climate(entire europe have too hot summers and too cold winters)but still l would go to one of Croatian Islands for retirement,maybe even buy one once that will be available since climate it's maybe not best but nature beauty is among top 10 in world.

$600 spread out across four weeks even in Cambodia isn't much. That's only $21 per day. You still have to eat, so assuming you eat three meals a day, unless you are fishing out of the river and cooking it yourself, or eating at the cheapest locals street stalls on the side of the road, you'll blow through that $21 in food alone, and probably then some. This does not even take into consideration any transportation getting around the city, any entertainment, any beverages, or in the case of Cambodia, women and/or weed. Oh, and that doesn't account for however much you'll have to spend for visa costs to remain in the country long term, and heaven help you if you get sick and need medical attention.
So what can you really do on $21 a day besides simply stay alive and keep a roof over your head? Not much.Comment

When I think of retirement? I think living well, doing what I want when I want to. Not sitting around doing nothing and eating shit food because I only have $20 a day.
You are retired. You have no job. Probably no school. You have an endless amount of time on your hands to fill with no money to do the things you have always dreamed of doing. Sounds boring as hell.Vacares - Web Hosting, Domains, O365, Security & More - Paxum and BTC Accepted

Own a nice but modest house. Own your vehicles. Own nothing you are paying monthly payments for and retirement is very affordable. I would think this holds true everywhere.Last edited by L-Pink; 05-13-2012, 08:35 AM.Comment

The feds decesion to supply banks with almost free money has devistated anyone that saved cash for retirement. Banks pay almost nothing now to depositers. It's sad the amount of retirees that are rapidly going thru savings because their money no longer makes money.Comment

The more I read, the more staying in Texas sounds like a good idea. I bought a three bedroom house in a perfectly okay part of town for under $100k.Last edited by raymor; 05-13-2012, 10:01 AM.For historical display only. This information is not current:

1200 per person is okay. Bulgaria, Poland, Georgia even Turkey.Русня, идите нахуй!Comment

OK, so say you find a place for $300 a day, which you COULD find with no problem. Now you have $32 per day.
Still not much.
You can do it, but you'd really have to watch every penny. But that still doesn't account for visa fees or God forbid any medical treatment you may need. That also doesn't account for any travel outside of the place you're living.Comment

Where in China is this? I don't think I could live without a fast internet connection though
It's essential for our job! 
I think retiring comfortably on an income of $1200 a month in many countries is doable IF
1) You own your own property
2) You have quality medical care/insurance
That's just common sense though considering these are two of the biggest expenses!
A lot of Asian countries look interesting to visit but retiring to one, hmmm. I don't like the concept of not being able to own land, defeats the purpose of buying.Comment
