They are places where your dollars buy you a better life, not just a cheaper life. If warm, sunny weather year-round is on your retirement wish list—and you'd like to see the shoreline when you sip your morning coffee—then you might consider one Portuguese town I know along the Algarve coast where you can enjoy a genteel European lifestyle for less. In another spot you should know about—where D.H. Lawrence penned his book, The Plumed Serpent—thousands of retirees have already settled. Here you might want a sweater some evenings—but it's spring-like year-round, rarely too hot or too cold. And no snow shovel needed. Ever. Plus there's lots to do. You could take a boat out on the lake, play tennis, walk in the park, or just relax with a book on your patio. In a third spot worth your attention—the City of Parks—you can enjoy all the cosmopolitan perks that come with big-city living—cinemas, theaters, sophisticated restaurants, great shopping, museums—and combine that with green surrounds ideal if you're outdoorsy. There's easy access to hiking, biking, and thermal hot springs. Lots of bike lanes and walking paths. It's a place with colonial charm, modern conveniences, and a cost of living that'll have you thinking you've traveled back to the 1950's. Modern Conveniences, Scenic Living But that's just for starters. I'd like to give you the details and coordinates for 17 scenic, safe, great-value places like these. And I'm willing to bet that among them you'll find a spot that could be perfect for you.  A place you could take a $200,000 nest egg and your Social Security and retire well for decades.
