I dunno ... they are creating senior independent living villages with all the amenities. So way ahead of the game compared to Canada.
Just googled China Independent Living and got these:

One of the couples I alluded to is white guy married to shanghainese lady ... and they both think it's the cat's meow. |
Retiring in Vancouver is for the ultra rich only, even middle class should heavily consider moving elsewhere when they retire.
Why spend "60k/yr" for a good retirement, when you can spend equivalent 20k in many other countries. Or keep that same 60k spend, to live like the 1% in other countries.
Or go full boomer, and live permanently on a cruise ship, being in a different country every week for the rest of your life.
