May 2018

I lost my home and entire retirement fund in a pre-ACA medical catastrophe in 2009, have only retained the travel trailer I work travel jobs from and a small, remote piece of retirement property, no house, am scrimping and saving to make large monthly make-up retirement fund donations ever since. I could only potentially recover the value I lost under GWB, decades of savings, if I worked till I'm 80.
Not willing or able.
I may have to go where my SSRI stretches further in 3 years. I'm presently researching Brazilian expatriate communities.
