When choosing a retirement destination, beside climate, living cost … we also need to consider

— the need to stay close to love ones
YJL said he would stay close to his daughter. I think it is actually practical. They can help out and also receive help when they are old.

For my wife and me, perhaps the more important criteria is job. I want to have a dev job till my 70’s. Not likely in Singapore.

— the need to stay close to my rental properties
At an old age, I wish to move my rental properties closer to home. Ashish believes the tenants and lawyers in other countries would figure out that I’m old and overseas, and take advantage of my limitations. Legal systems are probably more efficient in Sg.

Ashish suggested that I liquidate my overseas rental properties and buy one or more rental properties in SG.
