Social Security now expected to run short on funds in 2035, one year later

EU citizens generally pay much higher taxes, and get better retirement benefits for a wider variety of jobs, many of which would not be a career path that would have a good benefit package in the States.

And insurance that's not coupled with your employer.

The flaunting of wealth also isn't exactly culturally as strong as it is in the States.

My plan in the States -- in all seriousness -- is to be the local mountain hermit. I'll live semi-permanently in some hidden shack, I'll come down to town for odd jobs, hands-outs. Fringes of society for me.

insurance not coupled to employer is also very far off in the future in our country but can always dream :)

from my very brief attempt at the hermetic life it seemed scary to do it without learning how to fix cars, grow a garden, & carpentry am i over complicating it
