[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3457267, member: 24302"] My money will go farther here than your's will in the States. The separation from family is for a short time. Getting some loose ends tied up. In spite it being an overall poor country people eat well here and the scenery is world class. And you'd never know it's poor in Batumi or Tbilisi, the two biggest cities. You're thinking in terms of living in the States but my wife's and my Social Security is more than enough plus we'll have rental income. The healthcare is good and cheap enough to pay for out of pocket. Train travel is modern and cheap. Can go across most of the country on a fast, modern Swiss train for $15. Can fly to multiple destinations in Europe very cheaply. You got in early enough with FedEx that you got enough income plus you got a full traditional pension to supplement everything else. A lot of us didn't get the full pension nor the pay. We had to come up with something else. Frankly I don't know how a lot of people will retire. The younger couriers starting out will get enough pay that if they start funding their 401k early enough they will do ok. But a lot of people in between got hammered by FedEx's plans for itself. So making the most of it with what I do have. The internet is solid here, have my Dish satellite tv over it. Watch Netflix. Taking long walks in beautiful parks. Eating a lot of fresh produce. And getting things paid off. [/QUOTE]
