Millions Plan to Retire to the Sun

Nearly a third of Britons want to move abroad when they stop working, according to a new study.

The number of Britons leaving the country is greater than at any time since the 1970s. They suggest both that a huge number are anxious to find warmer, more exciting and less heavily-taxed places to live in retirement, and that many have the means to do so. The survey found that 30% now see themselves retiring abroad.

Of those looking to escape overseas, 20% want to go to Spain.
