(MONEYWISE) September 6, 2018 — In 2018, American retirees are collecting average monthly Social Security payments of just $1,404, or a mere $16,848 for the year.
That’s hardly enough to afford a decent life in America, particularly when seniors are facing out-of-pocket health care costs of more than $13,000 per year.
But what if you didn’t retire in the U.S.? The fact is that health care, housing and daily expenses cost significantly less in other countries.
