Recently, CNBC published a list of the top 10 best places to retire in the world. The 13-category criteria they used in order to weigh and determine the locations included the cost of living, crime and safety, English spoken, entertainment, environmental conditions, expat community, health care, infrastructure, recreation, residency options
and taxes, as well as real estate affordability and restrictions on foreign ownership.
Each year, they unveil the Overseas Retirement Index where they feature 30 destinations. This year they included 10 new destinations in their compilation. Coming in at number 10 is George Town, Malaysia, with “its English-speaking locals, exceptionally fine food, internationally accredited medical care and a low cost of living.”
