I do agree with you Julie, we would live eventually to retire in Florida but know realistically it isn't possible (even if it were legal in the US), due to the health care. We hope that we still have our home by the time we retire and spend the 6 months of our winter in Florida and the summer in the UK or possible somewhere else like France. Who knows, but we do at least have our free (well at the minute we do) healthcare and as you get older you get more problems unfortunately. Our previous MC told us how expensive their healthcare was and we were quite shocked.[/quote]Be very careful where you live outside the UK and for how long because entitlement to NHS treatment stops after three months in a non EU country if you're not intending to live in the UK permanently.

You also need to 'de-register' with your GP if you're leaving the country for three months or more.
