Retirement options

Bring you money to Canada. Sure we have snow, big deal. Come to Manitoba. It's not about what we have, it's about what we don't have.
We don't have hurricanes, or tsunamis or earthquakes.
No big prey animals,except; there are Bears up north,but mostly they stay there with the Cougars.
No crocs, no snakes, or poisonous critters. Some years we have mosquitoes, but if you keep your yard dry, or build your deck up at 12 to 15 feet they're no bother.
Very little crime in the rural communities. Cheap cemetery plots. Everybody is helpful and friendly.
We have lots of small towns with nice homes and really cheap taxes. For the most part, the muslims haven't showed up yet. $230,000USd could buy you the biggest mansion in town. A nice small older home in a rural town, 15 to 20 minutes from a major center, can still be had for under $100,000USd.
Our volunteer fire-fighters might have a firehouse within a 200 or 300 yards of your chimney, and they love to practice.
Sure we have snow, big deal, get on a treadmill.It only gets really cold for about a week in January, and only gets really hot for about a week in July. For about six months of the year it's really nice outside and for the rest of the time you can cuddle up by the fire. Or catch-up on the chores the missus is always harping on. Or whatever. lol
