Sure, I don’t mean to suggest it’s a good idea for all or even most Americans to retire in Vietnam vs. a cheaper city in the USA. However I do think a sizeable amount (maybe some 5% of retirees?) would be a good match for that
Let's say you just quit your job to live your dream of creating an indie video game. You'll probably want as much runway as possible while you build.
Startups tend to need rapid iteration and experimentation unless they're highly technical, which is why this plan is probably better for things you can do solo and completely cut off.
On the other hand, maybe someone just wants to spend a few years playing video games and reading books? Why not do it cheaply?
