What monthly expenses can an average retired couple in their mid-50s expect to spend in KL - assuming they own their condo? Rough ballpark figure? Thanks.

Many thanks, Donohue. Medical insurance seems to be the larger problem for those of us who might want to stay for the long haul.

hi,

Private medical insurance is available for up to 70 years of age from the Ringgit Net policy from AIG (if they're going to still be around).

The alternative is using Malaysian government hospitals and paying the higher rate for being a foreigner. This rate is still extremely reasonable. So don't get too worried about medical coverage.

regards, Scott

Thanks, Scott. Medical costs/lack of insurance has been a large concern. Don't think AIG are going to make it, though.
