I am seriously considering moving out of the country. I’ve worked full time for 40 years and that evil fucker Reagan upped my retirement to 67 instead of 65. I was originally going to work to 72. Now I think I will take what I can get before it’s all gone and live somewhere that has a lower cost of living. Between what I can get on SS and selling my house I can live quite comfortably somewhere else.
