One of the biggest concerns my wife and I have is the neverending rise of Singapore’s cost of living.

Heck, it’s common knowledge that we’re one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Fun fact: did you know that we share that accolade with Hong Kong and Paris?

But most importantly, it got us thinking: Can we retire in Singapore comfortably?

Or should we consider retiring overseas instead?

There are many lists out there detailing the best countries to retire in.

But as Singaporeans, it’s probably more realistic to consider a neighbouring country within South East Asia.

As compared to the South Americas, for example.

Also, my wife has a decidedly Asian palate (FYI: she loves her tau huay).

And she will probably miss her friends and family if we’re too far away
