Retirement is something we all stay frustrated since the time where being an adult means responsibility. While some say not everyone is meant to make money, I firmly believe that everyone is meant to make money if they’re willing to go through the hurdles of the unthinkable. We strive to enjoy a perfect retirement, we place our payments in all forms of retirement plans and we ensure to have a secure future when we have reached the point of utter serenity.
However, while the Millennials may negate the prospects of retirement, many people still enjoy the comfort of finding the perfect country to live and enjoy their time.
Canada is one of the countries which is perfect for anyone who’s planning to retire. Its ambiance and its diversified nature allow one to relax as well as participate in various activities that will serve as a memorable experience. Here are a few reasons that show why Canada is a perfect destination for anyone who’s planning to retire.
1. A Great Place with Great Health Plans.
The biggest concern many have is that as you age, medical expenses gets higher and higher. You take up insurances and other forms of bonds to ensure that in our old age medical expenses and bills wouldn’t be a problem; in the sense that in the future many would still be able to have a decent living despite the medical expenses.
Over the years, America has proven to have one of the most expensive health care system, despite the enactment of Obamacare many people still can’t afford any basic health care. The reason is, America’s concept of health care despite all leeways is based on your income instead of necessity. On the contrary, like many countries, Canada provides health care based on your necessity.
Your insurance, as well as basic social security, will definitely be enough for you to receive all the necessary medications as well as treatments needed. The ultimate importance for anyone is their health and that’s something you can be sure of to receive in Canada.2. Amazing Scenery, Perfect for Adventures.
When you do retire, the first thoughts that come to your mind is what can you splurge on? You have all the time and the finances, you have the energy required and you have all the motivation necessary to make your retirement an amazing experience. They say that 65 is the new 25, hence you definitely are looking forward to an adventurous retirement.
While bureaucracy is something to be mesmerized by, in Canada, however, their nature and history offers the same amount of amazement or even more. Their history of the French revolution stays strongly embedded in the corners of Quebec. Being part of the UNESCO heritage it offers the finest culture and shows the evolution of the French cuisine. However, if you stop by the empires of the British Columbia region, you would be able to be your own English person. Enjoying the finest of teas and the most delicious cakes. For some, it might bring you back to your roots.
For the adventurous and highly spirited people, the National parks, especially the Banff national park will serve as an adventure. You will be able to find various wildlife and enjoy a nice hike up the limestones. If you’re a fan of winter sports, then never forget to take your ski’s with you. The view from Mount Norquay is something you wouldn’t want to miss.
It’s the best of both worlds one would say.
3. The Huge Amount of Diversity.
Personally, being from a family of multiple races, I find diversity a crucial part of my habitat. This same principle lies within my parents too, who are looking forward to retirement. A twist in culture and the sheer acceptance of being difference can create a great bridge. After retirement, the last issue you would want to be worried about would be living in a country with conflicts of interest and differences.
Canada becomes the perfect nestling point as cultural differences are celebrated instead of being prejudiced. If you’re the type of person who enjoys having “chai” for breakfast and “sushi” for lunch, then this would be the perfect place for you. The balance of culture allows you to explore different people from a unique perspective. This form of diversity gives you the bonus of indulging yourself in various festivities and being one with the nation.
Prejudice is a strong word, however, being in Canada you would feel more at home than anywhere else because prejudice has been a minimalist perspective in that country. You will be able to enjoy peacefulness and serenity with a complete stranger, therefore perfecting your retiring experience.
Wouldn’t you want to experience this again?
4. Food Will Never Be the Same Again.
Food is an essential part of everyone’s life. The emotions it triggers and the security it provides gives you the feeling of a free-flying bird, Good food can provide one with the comfort and substance that one can’t experience otherwise. We work hard and reach the point of retirement to explore the comforts of fine foods as well as traditional cuisine.
History has shown how food has influenced Canada to a point that it became a significant part of their identity. If you’re a fan of maple syrup, then Canada is the place for you. With their emblem of the Maple tree, they’re one of the largest producers of the finest maple syrup. On the other hand, you will be able to find the best “Game” meat as well as exquisite cheese to be paired with your food.
Prince Edwards Island will be able to offer you an array of fine seafood, right of the harbor whilst also allowing you to enjoy the seldom popping up of whales. It will definitely be an experience you wouldn’t want to miss.
In Conclusion,
For anyone who’s looking for a calm yet adventure-filled place to live their retirement period, then Canada offers just that. If you envision yourself experiencing a blissful lifestyle, then definitely have Canada as one of your choices.
