US. And obviously, there are tons/lots of people retired here, regardless of what this person says. Each of our situations is unique, and thus, one must factor in hundreds of different reasons as to picking where one's retirement choices end up at. Example, what if you already own your house, automobile? That's a lot. What if you're already retirement age = social security age where you're covered by Medicare/etc. already?

And I get very nervous when someone mentions living overseas, in another Country. Sure things may look good now, but what about later, when things in that Country get weird or worse, these things have been known to happen. Be very damn sure of what you can do / or want before you settle all of your retirement plans. Sure, you may have still a little more time to adjust your plans at your retirement age, but time at that point is getting shorter and shorter to mod anything.
