2. Lagos, Portugal

Couples can live in this town in southern Portugal for $2,080 a month, or $24,960 a year, according to International Living. Lagos, on the Atlantic and boasting with moderate climate year-round, is great for retirees who want to live near the ocean. Transportation options abound and the city is fairly flat, making it great for walking, too.

3. Akumal, Mexico

Couples can retire in this tropical town south of Cancun for $2,240 a month, or $26,880 a year, according to International Living. "Famously known for its spectacular clear bay filled with sea turtles, Akumal has matured from a secretive destination for divers to a growing tourist hotspot," the overseas retirement site says of the town, which lies between resorts Playa del Carmen and Tulum on Mexico's Caribbean coast.

4. Volcan, Panama

Volcan will cost couples around $1,500 a month, or $18,000 a year, in living expenses. This inland town lies in the middle of a farming community in a valley, and has a population around 14,000. You'll need to speak some Spanish to be able to communicate with locals and do business, according to International Living.
