George Town ..Hip Hip Hooray..Happy Retirement...



George Town - the view from mainland Malaysia

George Town, Penang rated Top 4 in the ‘8 Great Places to Retire Abroad’ by Kiplinger

George Town was voted the fourth best place to retire by Kiplinger, a publisher of business forecast and personal finance advice based in Washington D.C. 

George Town is listed after Medellin in Columbia, Dubrovnik in Croatia, and Salinas in Ecuador and the ranking is based primarily on cost of living and other factors such as health care, ease of traveling to the U.S. and the climate.
Cities after George Town are Bilbao in Spain, Coronado in Panama, Galway in Ireland and Tlaxcala in Mexico.

In terms of lowest living cost alone, it is mentioned Penang, and Malaysia came in third after Thailand and Philippines. Their research shows Malaysia My Second Home received 19,488 foreigners over the past decade. 

George Town is also stated in the article to provide affordable and quality medical and dental services.

Well, I'm from Penang and no 
wonder I retried early even before this came up.
