As I write this, my wife and I are about to leave on a one-month trip to England. This has been one of our “bucket list” plans for a long time now. We’ve been back and forth to Europe about a half dozen times over the years. But most of those trips were of the “if it’s Tuesday, it must be Belgium, and if it’s Wednesday, it must be Paris” variety. This time, we just wanted to go to one country and relax for a month, and we picked England because we are Anglophiles from way back.
But if my emails are any indication, some of you want to go a big step further: You actually plan to move to another country. Many of you are just going back to your ancestral homeland, while maybe others see some of the same websites I do that entice you with headlines similar to this one I recently read: “Live like royalty on your Social Security check in Costa Rica!”
