Rentnerparadies: Rente im Ausland: Dieses Tool zeigt, wohin Sie auswandern sollten

German migrants are increasingly considering leaving their homeland, with around four million already living abroad due to work. As they contemplate their golden years, many wonder if they could enjoy the "Dolce Vita" in Italy during retirement. An interactive tool developed by Handelsblatt allows readers to explore various countries for potential retirement destinations.

This tool, based on two criteria, presents 148 possible countries to consider. Countries with travel warnings from the Foreign Office and those lacking sufficient data are excluded, leaving out Afghanistan and Sudan, but including Russia and the Congo. Factors to consider when selecting a retirement destination are diverse, ranging from financial aspects like affordability to population wealth, to cultural elements such as the size of the German expat community, time zone differences, and local cuisine quality.

Health care and climate are also significant factors, with the Legatum Prosperity Index used to compare healthcare systems and climate data including maximum temperatures, sunlight hours, and coastlines. The tool also covers civil liberties and LGBTQ+ rights, using assessments from recognized institutions. For those interested in learning more about retirement abroad, Handelsblatt offers a series of articles on the topic, including specific ones about living in Italy.
