I'm 62 years old, I’m Back to Work After Retirement because I'll end up broke in 11 months

At 62 years old, I'm staring at a retirement that might not last. In 2013, a friend sat across from me at a diner and told me to put $10,000 into Bitcoin at $90 a coin. I said no. That one decision and every financial choice that came after it has led me here: calculating whether I can even afford to stay in America, or whether I need to pack up and move to the Philippines, Mexico, or Vietnam just to survive my own retirement. This is the full story. The divorce that split everything in half. The cannabis stocks. The crypto losses. The COVID crash. And the number I calculated one quiet Sunday morning in December 2017 that I haven't been able to stop thinking about since. If you've ever made a financial decision you can't take back — or watched an opportunity pass you by in real time you'll feel every word of this. What would you do in my position? Stay in America and make it work or leave everything behind for financial peace?
