Thank goodness for Thanksgiving! It gives us the chance to stop the noise and the busyness, and remember to acknowledge and give thanks for our Blessings, Assets, and Gifts.
This past Saturday, my family and I helped assemble and deliver Thanksgiving baskets and turkeys to families in need in Bridgeport and New Haven, Connecticut. What a gift it was for us! We shared the spirit of the season with adults and children in a number of households. They were dealing with challenges, as we all are in this struggling economy. We shared our humanity together. It was a joyful and heart warming experience for all!
I wish you and your loved ones a joyous and peaceful Thanksgiving.

I recently discussed the financial and cultural benefits of great places to retire abroad in Southeast Asia with Bruce Reznik, an old friend of 40 years, who is an international lawyer.
Bruce is semi-retired now(meaning he only works part of the year) and has some valuable advice for our audience about traveling and living in this area of the world.
Bruce recommended five great places to retire abroad in Southeast Asia: Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and the Philippines.
Each of these countries has pros and cons. For example, Vietnam has accommodations that are similar to what retirees coming from the United States are used to. On the other hand, Cambodia has more rustic accommodations, but allows for a lower cost of living.
Another financial advantage of retiring in Southeast Asia is that you can live overseas, and you can receive a Social Security check. That’s one of the strong positives in terms of living in a lower cost place such as Southeast Asia.
Southeast Asia is just one of the options for Baby Boomers to explore when considering retirement overseas. Here at The Baby Boomers Retirement Network you’ll find the resources and expert advice you need when choosing from the many great places to retire abroad.
