Try going to apply for a work visa there and get a temporary residency there.

The only thing that would work is if you were in the military and got deployed (transfered). Or if your job moved you to a different city too far away to commute.

depends.  If stationed somewhere like Korea. you have DEROS (date of estimated return from overseas). then PCS ( permenant change of station). If you were "deployed" to say Iraq or Afghanistan for a mission, when its time to come home. there are several terms that can be used. recalled, withdrawn, redeployed, return to base, going home, back to the real world, charlie mike(completed the mission), I cant recall the official opposite of "deployed", cause we never used it.

If you don't want to come back you could build a cheap (relatively speaking) rocket, strap yourself in & blast off.  The cost will still be significant, but that's relative to your own financial standing.

Try moving out of the US... :D

I'd move to the uk where they speak English, and travel the world based from there.  Travel is so much cheaper there than in North America, gotta make that million last.

Additionally..access to base facilities like the gym, access to Child care(either an in home provider or the base day care centers), docounted tickets at ITT/MWR for places liek Disney and Sea World.\n\nAccompanied orders will be funded, including moving all of your household goods.  \n\nAccess to Hotels and resorts across the globe at significantly reduced rates.  Shades of Green at WDW in Orlando, The New Sanno in Tokyo, the Hale Koa in Honolulu to name but a few.  \n\nThere are also seminars and workshops offered through the Fleet and Family Support Center for things like help with resumes, job placement, even crafts and socializing.  I HIGHLY recommend that you take the Spouse 101 Class as soon as you can.  It's a great intro to Navy Life and can help explain the weirdness that is the military lifestyle.

I think the German army, if they stationed in the US they even get a paid vacation home. Never heard that in the US army.

It can be done, but take a good hard look at the situation first.. are you close to retirement?  Will you invest that $400,00 in such a way that that will not need to work any more?  that kind of money won't go far in this day and age.  Don't forget you'd also be giving up medical, commissary and exchange bennies as well as access to MWR facilities.

Ramstein Air Base, Germany.  Because you're in a central location to go anywhere in Europe.\n\n2nd Buckley Air Force Base, CO.  Because it's in a big city and there's lots of things to do (except going to the ocean)

It depends on where your stationed and how long, the military could say hey thats a great idea, or they could send you to alaska, so its a very unstable thing, if your a spouse you can move wherever you want as long as its near your home of record which is near the meps station you inprocess in before getting shipped to basic, good luck.

Having not approached retirement age and not know what you might like to do in retirement, I thought I'd just throw a few cool ideas out there that I like to spend time near. \n\nScottsdale, Az  - A suburb of the Phoenix area and common retirement location. Nearly never a cloud in the sky, save the monsoon season in early fall/late summer. Temperatures get SCORCHING during the summer days but is ideal during colder months if you like your fun in the sun. Mountains, Grand Canyon, and Mexico all within 3 hours driving time. \n\nSan Diego, CA - Again, sunny almost year round! My brother visits me in the midwest from there on occasion and completely freaks out in thunderstorms because he literally never sees them. Of course you might get an occasional earthquake...no place is perfect. Can't beat having a beach near by. Year round temperatures from 50-78 as a high. Mexico, LA, Vegas, and Sequoia redwood forest all within 5ish hours drive. \n\nColorado Springs, CO - Beautiful Mountains and forest recreation in a small town feel with big town advantages. Only a couple hours from Denver and just a few more to Rio Grande National Forest and Taos, NM. If the outdoors and a little cooler temperature is your thing, this is place is beautiful, friendly, and quiet. \n\nSonoma County, CA - Wine country and San Francisco. The Russian River meets rocky shores of the Pacific and the Northern Redwoods start to be dominant in the mountain forests. Lots of culture and great food & drink!\n\nSpringfield, MO - ONe of the most inexpensive places to live in a growing community (200,000+) that holds on to its small town roots. KC, St. Louis and Tulsa all 3 hours or less and its centered in the US enough to make for easy travel to any part of the country with a welcome atmosphere to come home too. \n\nThere's a few places that had a good "feel" to them when I had a chance to visit the east coast, but I'm not sure I know enough about them to give a good description, but thought I'd list them all the same:\n\nBoston, Mass - A neat big city with a great accent!\n\nLong Island, NY - for my girlfriend, shes just too fond of it to be all bad! Really though, ocean side on all ends and a few stone throws away from the Big Apple. Can even catch some wine country to the east. \n\nFlorida?  Not been but it seems a common place....personally I think its too crime ridden and overrun by hurricanes for me\n\nSo, theres 8ish, think I'll leave it at that....happy retirement!!!!

It's not good. I was at Bolling AFB a little while & it was a very bad neighborhood. There are nicer areas to commute from, but rental/real estate proces are insane. Important work draws people to the area, but live on base if you have to go there. I was always more happy in the operational force or major command level than anywhere close to DC anyway. I can't speak to schools. There are good private ones if you just happen to have inhereted a ton of money, but DC is just bad. I was only there about six months though so maybe someone else can give you a better impression than I got.
