[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4319443, member: 24302"] First off my wife is very sensitive to scum so you'd have no chance with her. Secondly I had a job that paid well but the demands of driving 15-18 hours between 2 hour naps became too much. Eating fast food all the time was hurting me too. But at my age not going to find much with my skill set that'll pay anything. Seriously I'm better off going overseas to places where my pension is worth twice as much, or more. Can pay on bills at home while still having enough to live on. I know of a summer resort that has a population of 30,000 but swells to 300,000 in the summer. For about 7 months out of the year they have almost as many empty apartments as they do people. If you go there in the winter, which is mild by European standards, you can get a one bedroom for a year that will run you 150-200 Euros a month depending on size and location. Plus utilities. Can get 100 mbps fiber optic internet there. Hundreds of restaurants open during the tourist season where a good meal can be had for less than 10 Euros including tip. And the people love Americans, which isn't always the case in many countries. So tell me, why grind it out at home for years to possibly up my SS by $50 a month? My wife wants to go too, waiting for her daughter to finish school. If she's not making progress then I'm going on over. [/QUOTE]
