For example, 85.3% of senior women sought a “simpler, less stressful life”, while 64.1% wanted a “more romantic, exotic, or adventurous life” than they had in their home country. Playing “against type”, 30.8% more women than men wanted a less materialistic life.
The survey is worth reading. Lots of infographics to make it pleasant.

The economy has a lot of ocean crossing sailboats out there looking for owners.
Yeah. They say they want less materialism. Wait until it actually happens.
Mrs. Gamecock and I have been having this conversation as of late.
If things here don’t get turned around we just may bug out.
Broads moving abroad?
Dames at sea?
My wife and I went to International Living Conference in Cancun a few months ago....we’re booked for 11 days in Nicaragua this November for an exploratory trip....business opp, ministry opp (we already run a non profit ministry in Uganda) and living / retirement opp.
Nicaragua is the new Costa Rica. First world health care available at a tenth the price....can live like a king (and queen) for 30K a year. Can live well for less.
There are plenty of places to retire in the US.

One woman’s quote-—”-—— a life where you actually have the kind of friends you did in the 1950’s in the States.”

When that happens, it’s all going to be blamed on the “Merkins”, and vengeance will be extracted.
Belize...we have had an eye on Belize for about 5 years now. Formerly British Honduras. English speaking. Also a great place for stashing dollars (wealth). Great climate. etc etc etc...

When it comes to work it seems they would prefer to sell burgers and chicken parts rather then be machinist, roofers and electricians.... Those jobs are are all done by people with balls called FOREIGNERS..!
But....if you give it a bit more thought....I guess it's really the previous generation fault (my fault I suppose).....for NOT standing up to the "Progressives" and fighting back.... We have lost our schools, our jobs and now we have lost our young folk and thereby our country to the commies....
Hmmmm.....I guess this was off subject....sorry for the rant.
