Published January 6, 2010 | In my opinion, there is nothing better than global travel. International travel has been my passion since I was very young. You see, my parents were both diplomats . As such, I grew up in a very cosmopolitan environment. Sometimes, it was a lot of pressure. I always had to keep up appearances, and I was always competing with some very sophisticated kids. Nonetheless, my global travels really worked to make me a better citizen of the world. Nowadays, I have quite the international outlook. I can tell you the best restaurants in a dozen major metropolises all over the world. I could explain the political situation in practically any country on Earth. The Internet has helped a little bit as have libraries, but most of the credit goes to my global travels.

Wouldn�t it be wonderful if all there was to think about in regards to retirement planning was where we might want to live, if not where we are now, and what types of things we might like to do? Sadly, planning for retirement is much more complicated than that. Many Americans find that they can not live well after retirement, and sometimes, they find that they can not live at all. Though not all planning can prevent problems, but it can make the latter years in live much better.
