That is a major concern.  It can only work if you make the numbers (for 
retirement, for instance) work, or make the income numbers work.  For 
younger people it seems like an impossible dream.  For people ready to 
retire the numbers might work if you're off grid (assuming you have saved 
and/or have SS.)  Central America and South America also have tremendously 
good property values in comparison to North America and Europe.
