Being a global citizen as an expat
The truth is that more and more expats are waking up to every day and realizing that the hamster wheel of 40 hour work weeks is nothing more than a nightmare where every all of your energy is sucked out of your body until you are old, wizened and too weak to be productive anymore. Once that happens, your government will kick you a few dollars per month as a “thank you”, but as any retired individual can tell you, pensions rarely come close to covering the basic cost of living, much less the cost of medicine and patient care for the elderly.
