Whither Boomers?

Whither Boomers?
Personally, I see a lot of postings online, advertisements, promoting living abroad for retirement. (Yeah, I know. It's coming up, for better and worse). Just a few examples:

And the thing is, I get the feeling a bunch of us Boomers are going to go be expats in other nations like Mexico, Belize and yes, as shown in the picture above, Portugal. Check out the reasons:
--The dollar goes further  --Health care isn't as absurdly, obscenely expensive  --There isn't as much wealth inequality in other nations and finally, a big factor is that  --No other nation has as many guns and shootings and killings as we do in the US
One more thing. Better, older, saved architecture. 
Oh. Another. The food. Frequently in these places, great food.
Yeah.
I see a LOT of us leaving.
