9 International Locales to Retire and Live Better

7) Morocco

Morocco is rapidly becoming a very desirable place for North Americans to retire and live better. Only a few thousand ex-pats are officially recognized as having made the move to Morocco so far but we suspect many more will be lured to the North African country in coming years. The romance of grand old cities like Marrakesh, Casablanca and Tangier attracts many foreigners while quiet coastal towns like Saif, Mohammedia and Agadir are great for those who covet a life by the sea. Interestingly, Morocco is free from double taxation and buying a property in the country is fairly straight-forward and hassle-free. Tax on income in Morocco is only 10% which sounds like a dream for those used to handing over 40% of their earnings to the federal government. As there are few established ex-pat communities in Morocco, a move here is definitely not for the faint of heart but your courage will be rewarded with an exciting new life in a truly exotic locale.
