As EU citizens you can live in Malta but you will need to prove you have health cover, some countries have reciprocal health agreements with Malta, I don't know about Bulgaria. If not, you would be covered here if you work and pay in to the system, otherwise you will need to have private health insurance.
You would not be entitled to any retirement benefits here as you have not paid into the system.
Cost of living has been covered many times on this forum and you will find info by using the search boxes at the top.
