best places to invest.

prevented with a simple injection. Whether retiring or investing overseas, follow these retirement tips to avoid unnecessary headaches.
Rent vs. Buy
As a rule, you should always rent first when
investing during retirement. Spend some time in the area where you want
to invest. Get to know the people. Search for availability of
transportation, proximity of grocery stores and entertainment. Do the
same in other areas. The last thing you want is to discover the perfect
place after having purchased somewhere else. Rent first. Then when
you've found a deal you can live with, buy.
