10. Vietnam

Although Americans may still associate this country with war and conflict, the country of Vietnam offers an affordable lifestyle in a rapidly growing economy. Most couples can live comfortably on $800 to $1200 per month. If you search for housing, you'll discover a selection of new apartment complexes, complete with laundries, gyms, and swimming pools. Like other retirement options, the cost of living is higher in larger cities. The local people are friendly, and many of them speak English.

There are 2000 miles of coastline in Vietnam, as well as forests in the highlands, tropical lowlands, and large river deltas. Traffic congestion and pollution are issues in the main cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The rural areas offer some relief due to fewer cars on the roads.
