cost of living

According to a recent survey by the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF), almost half of Britons would consider moving abroad after they retire in order to live more comfortably in a country with lower living costs than the UK. 

According to a recent survey by Skyscanner, 9 in 10 Britons would consider leaving the UK for a better life abroad. The current recession in the UK and a positive perception of other countries (even including ones hit hard by the economic recession like the USA and Spain) are the main reasons for emigration.
