Trapped by medicare. As retirees with a husband teaching college part time, we are kind of trapped by medicare. Unless we moved to Sarnia and got doctors in Port Huron. I have a college roommate who lives in London, Ontario and she said it's more expensive there. I've actually done some checking in border areas: Ontario or BC and yeah, houses, even small ones, are a LOT more. I have a niece who is planning on moving there with her boyfriend when she gets her doctorate. I told her if I was in my 30's clutching my advanced degree, I would be looking north. But as a 67 year old retiree on medicare, it's just not feasible. When it comes to actual citizenship, I read somewhere that if you are not planning on working there, you need to have at least $800,000 to even consider it. Maybe a half a million would do, but I don't know. Sometimes retirees will live there for 6 moths and then winter in FL or AZ. But you would still be an american citizen.
After Michigan went blue (thank you ladies) maybe I have a bit more hope.

Moved to BC in 2012, became citizens this year, haven’t regretted it at all.

Housing market has been insane, but that is now changing, and 2019 looks to be the year there will be a big correction (sales already way down, prices starting to drop).

We’ve invested the proceeds from the sale of our California home, waiting for the right moment to buy, then we’ll retire.

Glad to see the Blue Wave providing a glimmer of hope for America; the next two years may determine if the Constitution and the country survive.
