Are you really thinking about leaving the US? I did it.

6. Soon?

I just started having this discussion with my wife. The timing isn't great, as I'm 57 and she's 48, our parents
are still alive and need assistance, and we also have a lot of pets. I REALLY want to get out though

Panama would be awesome, but we might be around for another 30+ years and I'm not sure that Panama will.

Spain, Portugal, and France are at the top of my list. I really like what France has to offer, but it isn't friendly
to digital nomads at this time, and my wife would likely have to continue to work for a while.

I've been doing a lot of research over the last two months. It isn't easy, but as you said, it can be done.
