Taiwan is the best place to retire in the world in 2024

Taipei, Taiwan

Retirement is an exciting phase in life for many people. It provides a sense of freedom and allows people to pursue their interests, which often includes traveling. Nowadays, an increasing number of retirees are choosing to retire outside their home country. While there are advantages and disadvantages to retiring abroad, it can be a thrilling experience.

With so many appealing travel destinations around the world, it can be challenging to decide where to settle down. A new study by the CEOWORLD magazine can help retirees identify the best countries to retire in 2024. The Global Expat Retirement Index 2024 Survey conducted by the magazine has provided valuable insights for retirees seeking an ideal location to settle down.

The cost of retirement varies greatly from one country to another, but it’s not just about finances. CEOWORLD magazine conducted a survey in 2024 called the Global Expat Retirement Index, which ranked 50 countries based on four factors: health, quality of life, material well-being, and retirement finances. Europe has 23 of the top-ranking countries. The Global Expat Retirement Index is a comprehensive survey that aims to help individuals find the best retirement destination. It serves as a practical tool for retirees to compare and narrow down their options. However, it’s important to note that it is not a scientific tool.
