According to Northwestern Mutual's 2024 study, Americans require nearly $1.5 million to retire, reflecting a 15% increase from 2023. Retiring abroad, particularly in Malaysia, presents a feasible alternative. Malaysia is praised for its cost of living being 54% lower than the U.S., offering appealing rental options in cities like Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh. The median rent for a one-bedroom in the city center averages around $373 per month, allowing retirees to comfortably live on $2,500 monthly, inclusive of luxurious accommodations.
On average, American retirees can live comfortably in Malaysia for just $2,500 per month, significantly less than the expenses in the United States.
Malaysia scored an impressive 96.1 out of 100 in its rankings as a retirement destination, thanks to its affordability and safety, ranking first in Asia.
