I'm as British as can be but leaving the country when I retire is definitely one of my possible retirement plans. I fail to see how that is a bad thing. I should think that working hard and paying a great deal of tax all my working life, but then spending my old age in another country would be great for the economy.
There's approximately a million British pensioners living in Spain, using Spanish services and health care provision that they've never contributed towards. How is that good for the Spanish economy?

Of course Brexit may have fucked that plan now.
