The most expensive places in the world to retire

It’s finally here: that time to trade in your suit and tie for a comfy golf polo and pitching wedge and enjoy the bliss of retirement. And as you gear up for retirement you might also find yourself thinking it’s time for a change in scenery; that time to pack up and move to the destination you’ve always dreamed of – often while sitting at your office job and picturing far-off locales.
But, what if that dream retirement city is going to cost you every penny you’ve saved during your career? Although you may set out with the best of intentions, the cities you’ve always dreamed of may be threatening to eat through your entire savings in short order.
