"Old" age is not for sissies

Well, that's an old and totally overused catchphrase but it seems to fit.  So, I've been thinking about where my future lies … and I'm not sure it's in the United States. I'm just not. Even with this MA degree, I may end up being a greeter at Walmart. Which is not my idea of a good time.

So, I've been looking for alternatives and honestly, everything keeps pointing to emigrating (but honestly, I may not even have the SS to qualify for that) to a place where I can live somewhat comfortably without having to worry whether I can pay the rent OR eat (and let's not even talk health insurance.)  That's just no way to live, and trust me, while it's been awhile, I've been there and done that.  I'm not looking for a rock-star life style, and I know that a few will say that I should have planned better.  But it is what it is, and there are going to be choices that have to be made.

The whole thing is depressing.
