The U.S. ranked just 16th as one of the best nations to retire in, according to the 2018 Global Retirement Index, just released by Natixis Investment Managers. The U.S. maintained its top 10 ranking for finances, chiefly because of improvements in tax pressure, fewer nonperforming bank loans and rising interest rates, which improve saving levels and income in retirement. But the U.S.’s quality of life sub-index score declined in the 2018 index, and its happiness indicator score, which evaluates the quality of retirees’ current lives, also fell.
So which countries provide a better retirement landscape than the U.S.? Here is Natixis' Top Ten:
1. Switzerland
2. Iceland
3. Norway
4. Sweden
5. New Zealand
6. Australia
7. Ireland
8. Denmark
9. Canada
10. The Netherlands
