End of life, but which is better ？

I've heard that in the U.S. it's hard to have that kind of money, that you need more than $1 million over 10 years to be miserable in a nursing home. So if you move in when you are in your 70s and live to be 90, you would need $2 million.
On the other hand, in Japan, if you have 50 million yen for 10 years, they will take care of you in a decent place. 100 million yen for 20 years.

The current view is to be based in the U.S. until you have some freedom to move around, and then sell to Japan.

The food would be better than the US facility, and since all the kids are back in Japan, they would come to see us once in a while.
What do you all think?

I retired at 55. I will receive a pension from Japan starting next month and from the U.S. next year I will receive a pension from the U.S. I am 61 years old.
90% of my assets are in the US. I have a residence in Japan and live in both.

What are your candid thoughts?

There are many good things about the country: family, friends, vast nature such as beaches and mountains, climate, good working environment but you can earn a lot of money and have time for hobbies.

It's kind of a waste of life to live in a country you don't like until you retire.

Thank you for your valuable experience. It is true that Japan is a unique country in terms of human relations. Also, people are quick to compare. I think there is also a disposition to not easily accept strangers.

Hawaii is an option, but as long as we can both stay out of trouble with our spouses, it is fine, but eventually we will have to go into an institution.

Our father had my mother take care of him downstairs until he died last month, which we can't do. We have asked my mother to go into an institution if it becomes too hard for her.

We have heard that if she becomes immobile, the level of care she needs will be higher and not only more expensive, but the number of facilities that will accept her will be greatly reduced.

No, I am just worried.

Everything is expensive in Hawaii.
You should expect to pay 1, 5 to 2 times as much.
The islands are far from the continent and vulnerable to natural disasters.

If I could make enough money to hire a care giver 24 hours a day, I would like to stay in the US, but I don't have kids, so maybe Japan.

＃ And I have a good job, which is why I have a good personal life.

Is there a stipulation as to what kind of work constitutes a good job?
