"I plan to buy a condo in Beijing, China. It's a beautiful city and a good retirement destination. Food and utilities for a family average under $200 per month. A car is not needed because cab fare is less than $1 to go anywhere in the city. There are many Americans living there to associate with when you feel the need."
