How do Czechs choose where they spend their pension?
In our country, the idea of life in the garden in retirement is not widespread and normal. Pensioners from Western European countries are definitely bolder. But there are many things hindering us and it’s not just money. How are you doing with languages?
Immediately after the possibilities of communication of Bohemia, however, the most interested weather. After all, the heat and the sun attracts, especially when it rains or blows at home and most of the year is more colder. Possible lower life costs are also important. Everyone wants to have a pension that not only needs it, but can enjoy without worries.
Of course It is also necessary to consider the possibilities of health care, which is quite high in our country and you already know what it works. The distance from the family can be both an advantage and an unsurpassed obstacle, because weekends with grandchildren will certainly not be so busy.
A popular destination of European pensioners
Portugal is probably the most popular second home of European pensioners. Why? It has a pleasant climate, a beautiful coast, but life here is not cheaper than in our country. Different surveys vary, but in general it is more expensive in Portugal than in our country, much. The destination is popular, but only if you have the opportunity to spend.
Spain is also very similar, especially when it comes to climate and culture. Life in cities can be as expensive or even more expensive than in our country, on the other hand, outside cities and significant destinations, you can save something compared to life in the Czech Republic. However, Czechs are rarely coming here, the popular pensioners from Britain, Germany or Scandinavian countries.
Even Czechs are closer shirts than coat
Hungary is such a Central European “golden solution” that makes sense for several reasons. There is a cheaper life, health care at a good level and you will be close to your home. The climate is a bit more pleasant than in our country, nature has a lot to offer, the kitchen is also popular and in any case thermal, which are a popular goal of seniors who do not live abroad, but like to go abroad.
You may not be surprised that the most popular new homeland of the largest group of Czech pensioners is Slovakia. It is a bit, the tongue is not an obstacle, and yet you will make a better retirement than in our country. Summary summarizes Slovakia cheaper, but it is not always clear.
While food and transport are more expensive, the locals save more for housing, clothes or personal care, which is cheaper in Slovakia than in the Czech Republic. For similar reasons It is also popular even nearby Poland, where you can also easily overcome the language barrier And you will enjoy, which is very important for some.
You can also enjoy the pension in other parts of the world
For example Macedonia or Albania are ideal for many reasons. These countries are cheap, have beautiful nature and a quiet lifestyle. But the Czechs do not use them too much. Concerns about worse health care, language barriers and less developed infrastructure for foreigners discourage them from these countries.
Colombia, Ecuador, Nicaragua or Panama are a very beautiful and exotic country. Adventurers also plunge into these significantly more distant destinations, but Czechs are not among these courageous pensioners. Exotic, heat and interesting culture, but also distance, foreign languages and poor safety, are too high risks. At the same time Panama reigns among destinations that pensioners prefer to move worldwide.
Asia also has a lot to offer. Vietnam or Thailand are beautiful countries with a tropical climate, and yet it is possible to live only with very low costs. But for many it is too far, and visa issues can be complex. In addition, Asian culture is really miles away and we often do not understand the basic relationships and conditions.
Admit what attracts you more? Heat, sea, mountains or low costs or interesting culture and even food and drink?
