I can't speak to the US, but in Canada you can get in trouble if you work for a Canadian company remotely from another county. 
 

Granted many retired people already have homes or have permanently moved to countries with lower costs of living. 
 

We call them "snow birds" as majority flock to southern or warmer climates for the winter.

Some people actually do! Me personally, I have my life, my friends, my family here and live in a very international city with lots of international artists coming here to tour, parties to go to, exhibitions, events and happenings 

 

Living somewhere is about way more than just having a house (for me), it's all the activities and network that a city brings with it as well

People underestimate the difficulty of moving. It's not just getting the practical things sorted out, it's a huge shock to the nervous system to change environments and it often takes a while to show up once you've already moved.

 

We still have the brain of a tribal mammal and we really like familiarity.

I heard retired German teachers get 5000 euro per month as a pension. While it doesn't go far in Germany, you can get by on it in many other countries.

5k in Germany is upper class, wtf are you talking about "doesn't go far"
