Retiring in America would require me to work until I'm at least in my 60's due to the high cost of healthcare. Basically, I would work my entire healthy life. Then, at retirement, I'm probably going to be too old to have any excitement.
Taiwan is a much more inexpensive option. Since my wife is still a Taiwanese citizen, I can also become one. This would allow me to get health insurance in Taiwan for a fraction (literally) of what it would cost in the United States.
Taiwan is also a much more exciting place to live than living here in Atlanta. Sure, we could move back to San Francisco, but then we would not be able to save any money (work forever, no savings). I guess I should clarify... Taiwan is an exciting place for a foreigner. We do plan to travel locally and abroad once we do move to Taiwan. Otherwise, I'm sure it would get boring after the newness wore off.
Ahh, the food stalls... a wonderful thing!
