Monetary factors to consider when relocating (Part 3/4)
Welcome to the third post of this four part series.
Would you like to relocate to Aruba? Hawaii? San Diego? Tokyo? Costa Rica? Melbourne? Somewhere closer to home?
There may be many logistical and personal reasons to move to another location. Maybe you want to eventually retire at this location. You might prefer the weather and climate somewhere else. Another place might provide you the opportunity to pursue a specific career path. Maybe you don’t trust your country’s government and thus want to move to another country.
Whatever the reason for your move, there are several factors to take into consideration. Just four (4) of many monetary factors will be considered in a series of posts over the next few days.
A third monetary factor to consider when relocating is: Cost and quality of available medical care
In the event that you had a medical emergency, are there any great hospitals nearby? What is the distance to the nearest major hospital? Are there any qualified specialists who will be able to quickly address your medical condition? What medical bills will be incurred?
A person I know had talked of moving down to Costa Rica. When asked what he would do if he required serious medical attention, he said that he would have to fly to the US. Imagine the complications and inconveniences that could arise with those circumstances … not to mention the cost of flights to and from the US.
If you plan on remaining within the US, here are the rankings for America’s best hospitals: http://health.usnews.com/sections/health/best-hospitals
Stay tuned for the fourth and final post of this series.
