I am looking into my options of retiring in a few years and settling in Vietnam . I love the food and the culture and the weather and see it as a great base for exploring more of Asia . The main things that I am trying to find out is what is the best way to transfer money and what is the best bank account to open in Vietnam . Once I have my money I think everything else is doable. Any advice will be appreciated. Currently I am 53 years old and could retire comfortably but I still have a boy in HS here in the USA so I will have to wait and save money for another few years which isn't necessarily a bad thing .
