New Era of Opportunity Overseas--International Living Showcases It with Live Event
With the Great Resignation, Americans--in unprecedented numbers--are re-evaluating their priorities, looking for ways to put "life first, work second." To showcase solutions, International Living is hosting its first live, in-person Retire Overseas Bootcamp in 3 years on February 4-6, 2022, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Experts will be on hand to highlight the spots around the world where dollars stretch further, the pace of life is slower, and folks can afford to retire early and embrace a lifestyle filled with great food, lots of cultural activities, solid healthcare, and weather that suits year-round.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The pandemic has really pushed people to re-evaluate what's important" says Dan Prescher, Senior Editor at International Living. "And lots of them—we're seeing this with the Great Resignation—are saying that it isn't a life that revolves around work, that's lived at the whim of a system that doesn't provide a comfortable existence.
"People are ready to take back control—to find ways to re-balance their lives. And at International Living, we're in the business of helping them do it.
"Because when you take your life to a place where the cost of living is so much lower, you can afford to breath, to relax, to create a lifestyle for yourself that integrates what you want to do.
"And even a modest part-time income, earned remotely, can—in the right places—bankroll a very nice life.
"This February 4-6, 2022 we're gathering our experts from around the world in Las Vegas (for the first time in three years) to show people exactly how to do it.
"While things may feel uncertain at home, in the right places overseas today, the opportunities are better than ever before.
"At International Living, we see a New Era of Opportunity abroad today. At our Retire Overseas Bootcamp, we're going to show attendees how to capitalize on it."
A growing number of Americans reimagining their lives and retirement. And they're discovering that a budget of as little as $1,700 a month—an amount that would see a person scrimping and saving at home—can actually fund a comfortable existence beyond the US borders.
"When the pandemic happened, we were forced to permanently close our business of 12 years," says Ralph Kenneth Hay from Saint Petersburg, Florida. "As a result, it provided us with the chance to re-evaluate our lives and our retirement and what our next chapter in our life would look like.
"In preparation for retirement in Portugal, I have been learning about a remote freelancing course offered by Barefoot Consultants. I hope to supplement our retirement by freelancing."
There are folks who are happy enough in their lives, but crave more adventure, a richer life full of travel, of an escape from the drumbeat of negativity on the nightly news.
Jan Schroder and her husband, Chris, are both writers who live in Smyrna, GA but are reimagining their retirement.
She says, "I've been a writer for 20 years, so I don't know if we will ever fully retire because we love what we do, but we have always talked about when we did, or worked less, that we would like to experience retirement in a foreign country."
Similarly, Jeanne Dee from Santa Monica plans to make the most of her retirement outside the U.S. borders to elevate her lifestyle.
"I lived and worked in Italy when I was 20 so I explored Europe and fell in love with it," she says.
"Then in 2006, I spent a decade travelling to 48 countries with my family on a tiny budget…. Now as an empty nesters, we are so ready to retire in Europe. We love the low prices, spectacular natural and architectural beauty, great weather, friendly people, gorgeous beaches, yummy food, fascinating culture and healthy vibrant lifestyle."
