This is part of our RE plan in the winter months...once our beloved cat goes to cat heaven :(
But we plan to rent, not own, so we can be free to move around as we feel. Rents in many parts of the world, such as Spain and even in small towns in France and other European and Asian countries, are cheap and the cost of food is relatively low and quality is high compared to that of Canada. PeteD01 just posted an update on their recent move to Spain, and their rent is the equivalent of $500/month.
