Best Places To Retire

Several quarters have named the Philippines as among the world’s best places to retire for one reason or another. I can only agree.

And if I may corroborate with my personal measures for a top retirement destination choice, I would love a place that can fulfill my simple-to-elegant retirement needs and wants. Since my gauge partly identifies simple needs and wants, that strongly refers to cost metrics in view of my circumstances as an ordinary retiree.

If I were a rich person, I may not consider simple things but the elegant ones without wearing down my finances a bit. At the end of my definition, I count the Philippines, but it’s anyone’s impression that really transcends. That’s why…

I have chosen 10 best retirement destinations in the Philippines. Here’s the unordered list…

1. Cebu Philippines - The list is incomplete without it.
2. Metro Manila – The list is incomplete without it.
3. Palawan Philippines – The 30-Km long Underground River, one of the world’s New 7 Wonders of Nature is there; and more.
4. Davao Philippines – Great combination of rural and urban setting.
5. Bicol Philippines - CAMSUR, a top tourist destination is there and more.
6. Aklan Philippines – Boracay is there.
7. Ilocos Philippines – The heritage corner.
8. Mindoro Philippines – Puerto Galera is there.
9. Bohol Philippines – Chocolate Hills, tarsier and Panglao are there.
10. Northern Mindanao Philippines – Its hugeness speak for more.

And if your taste is the big city life, then Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City, called the next big thing in Metro Manila, would most likely fit your considerations.

Cheap Places To Retire

Here is my list of cheap places to retire in the Philippines…

1. Southern Luzon

3. Palawan Philippines
4. Davao Philippines
5. Bicol Philippines
6. Aklan Philippines
7. Ilocos Philippines
8. Mindoro Philippines
9. Bohol Philippines

Retirement Decision Counts

Retirement decisions are made from tough choices. Those decisions should enhance one’s retirement years, so they must be chosen carefully. Here are a few insights you can plow…

Many people would decide to go for a place that has beautiful scenery, quality health care facilities and big city amenities… retiring in the Philippines fits this definition.

Another is about relocating to a less expensive area where one can retire comfortably on a modest income… the Philippines fits again.

For some people, financial calculation rules. When your social security, work pension, and investment income can deliver the cash flow you deem can sustain your expenses for the rest of your life… you are ready to retire. The Philippines can corroborate.

And…

Just don’t retire with too much debt. I almost got into it.

As I’ve disclosed ahead, there is an increasing number of expatriates retiring in the Philippines. A lot of them considered low cost of living as their main reason for coming over.
