Miami and Los Angeles are great for those who have been able to postpone a decent amount of money. If your pension is not enough for a full-fledged life in the United States, then read through the five proposals from the International Living report.

Comparison of cost of living was taken on the site Numbeo.com. Here are the prices for food in restaurants, the cost of fuel, transport, clothing and housing in 8500 cities. The site gives prices for rental apartments of different sizes in more and less expensive areas, as well as the price per square foot when buying it.

1. Porto, Portugal

The second largest metropolitan area of ​​Portugal after Lisbon, Porto offers the charm of the Old World and the comforts of the First World. It is also a thriving business city with an international airport.

It's cheap to live here - the monthly budget for a couple is up to $ 1550. The cost of living index is 48 percent lower than in New York.

2. Toulon, France

The city of Toulon on the Mediterranean coast has all the charm of the French Riviera, but without inflated prices.

On the scenes of the city constantly perform concerts, and on the waterfront are festivals.

Unlike its more expensive neighboring cities - Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Bandoli and Cassis - tourism here is a secondary industry, so Toulon is open for business throughout the year.

Tuula Rampon and her husband moved to Toulon eight years ago. “Given the slower pace of life in France and the preference for leisure, my life in Provence is much less stressful than when I lived in the US,” she said.

“I can rent a comfortable one-room apartment for $650 in the center of Toulon,” Rampon said. “When we first arrived, we rented a two-room apartment with a sea view and just a two-minute walk from the beach for $1090.”

3. Barcelona, ​​Spain

Spain’s second largest city is friendly and filled with music, cultural and nightlife. It is a city with countless museums and concert events.

Barcelona is actually more affordable than retirees expect.

Linda Fernandez, who lives in Barcelona with her husband, finds their living expenses minimal. “Because we own our own apartment, our regular expenses — minus groceries and entertainment — average about $860 a month,” she said.

Taxes on a house in Texas took a huge part of their monthly income.

“In Barcelona, ​​property taxes are negligible, averaging about $66 a month,” Fernandez said.

4. Montevideo, Uruguay

In Montevideo, there are many large parks, squares, tree-lined streets, sandy beaches and wide avenues. While the seven-mile coastline of the city does not actually have an ocean, it is very similar to the ocean.

Two people can live on $ 3200 per month by renting a one-room furnished apartment in Pocitos, the most popular area in the city. The cost of living index is 44 percent lower than in New York.

5. George Town, Malaysia
