Retirement paradise: Pension abroad: This tool shows where you should emigrate

Around one in eight Germans have considered living abroad, with approximately four million already doing so, mainly in Switzerland, Austria, and the USA for work-related reasons. Many are drawn to the idea of retiring in countries like Italy, Thailand, or Costa Rica, and the Handelsblatt has created an interactive tool to help people find their ideal destination.

The tool allows users to filter 148 possible countries based on criteria such as cost of living, healthcare, climate, and LGBTQ+ rights, using data from reputable institutions like the Auswärtige Amt and the Legatum Prosperity Index. The tool excludes countries with travel warnings or insufficient data, such as Afghanistan and Sudan.
