For many golfers, owning a home on a golf course or near to their pick of courses is the ultimate retirement dream. And even if you’re not among the 25 million plus Americans who play golf, you can still take advantage of all the top amenities (think spas, swimming pools, restaurants, security…) that golf resorts [...]
Recently, a reader wrote to me to ask whether she should buy property in Greece to qualify for residency under its golden visa program.

High prices, a high mortgage rate, and dwindling supply… Prospective homebuyers in the United States face a near-impossible situation, and home sales are suffering as a result. They’re at their lowest levels in 13 years. Instead of waiting on a frozen market to thaw, those interested in buying property for lifestyle or investment should look [...]

When my children were young and we lived in Paris, we looked forward to our once-a-year trips to the boutique épicerie known as Thanksgiving. Each year, the weekend before that shop’s namesake celebration, my teenaged daughter and preschool-aged son and I would set out from our apartment in Paris’ 7th arrondissement for the hour-long walk [...]
Are you looking for a “way out”? With everything that’s going on in the world… war in the Middle East… war in Ukraine… seemingly endless political dysfunction in the United States… we could all be forgiven for wanting an escape.
