This is the crux. Healthcare. Retirement abroad is about to become the preserve of only those wealthy enough to pay for private healthcare abroad. Why did so many more Brits choose retirement in Spain rather than Florida, where there's no language barrier? Healthcare. What kind of Brits retire in Florida anyway? Those able to afford the healthcare. Now, EU countries will become as difficult to retire in as the rest of the world always was.
Hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions, of British citizens have been able to retire in the EU up until now with reciprocal healthcare arrangements. That is going in the bin. People are returning from Spain in droves, France too. They're heading back for the NHS whilst huge amounts of foreign NHS and care home staff head back the other way. f
king ace, eh?
Those of us of lesser means will have to give up on searching for foreign property pron for our retirement now. But at least we'll be eating bendy bananas in Mansfield in the rain, right?

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Do you mean "buy shares in healthcare providers"? if so, we're not all plutocrats, we're not all business people, we're not all gamblers, we can't all afford to lose much. Share buying is a risk which many people, particularly non-affluent pensioners, can't afford to take.Another one on the market that I'm a little gutted wasn't for sale 6 months ago!

Not just investing ! But also working. People living longer need help more .A private nurse costs a trillion a day by all accounts :-) brianashley said:

Not sure if the sunken sofa is the most or least cool thing I've ever seen
i think it's cool, however not in white. It gets stepped on every time someone gets on or off it.Not sure if the sunken sofa is the most or least cool thing I've ever seen
