I am on disability so I know how hard it is to live off those benefits. Why would you leave this country? There is no better place to live than here, regardless of the hardships.
People are free to live where they want, as long as a country will accept them. And there are many wonderful countries to live in outside of the USA.
The part of the country I live in has many small towns with unbelievably low cost of housing and living. All these folks needs to do is look around. I suspect it's more to moving outside the country than was stated in this article.
You don’t know unless you try. The health care in US is ridiculously expensive and the quality is not always up to standard. On a fixed income of $700 a week you may live a royal life in many places.
1) In any country the top 20% have it good, while the bottom 80% struggle. It's normal to be in the 80% category and nothing to be ashamed about. Some retired people though can instantly jump into the top 20% simply by moving to the right country.
2) USA women. Many are seriously messed up in the head by years of leftist media in all its forms, TV, books, movies, news, porn, college indoctrination. Something like 25% of college women trade sex for money either while in college or after to pay off their subprime student loans. Yeah, fun for all, but these women are ruined and are no longer long term relationship material.
3) Expats can always come back.
