097: How to Retire Abroad with Keith & Tina Paul

While many people devote time to travel after they retire, even more retirees are now finding new countries to call home - to enjoy an even better quality of life and standard of living.

In their mid-fifties, Keith and Tina Paul decided to leave Southern California to make Ecuador their home. Before retirement, Keith was the Chief Technology Officer for the University of Southern California Medical Center, and Tina owned her own neuropathic medicine practice in California. Since moving to Ecuador, they have also visited over 30 countries in the last year, as well as all 50 United States. They have a hugely popular blog, have appeared on HGTV's House Hunters International, and continue to enjoy many of the comforts of their former home.

Today, Keith and Tina join the podcast to talk about why they decided to retire abroad in their mid-fifties, the qualities that a person needs to have to adapt well to retiring abroad, and the unique financial planning that makes their lifestyle both fun and sustainable in ways that would have never been possible had they stayed in California.
