International Living has just compiled their Global Retirement Index for 2006, which lists the most popular overseas destinations for retirees. Their criteria are strict and take into account the following: real estate prices, special benefits for retirees, cost of living, safety and stability, health care, climate, culture & entertainment, and infrastructure. Topping the list, for the sixth year in a row, is Panama, which boasts beautiful landscapes, warm weather and a low cost of living that enables retirees to make the most of their retirement. Malta comes in second, a popular choice with a "perfect" climate and no property taxes. The rest of the top ten include: New Zealand, Uruguay, Mexico, France, Romania, Argentina, Malaysia, and Ecuador.
