The traditional path in the States around careers and retirement is basically:
Move to a random place away from your family and friends to get a good job (you won’t see them as much or maybe even very often anymore) then work yourself to death for 30-35 years while your wife does the same and your children are educated by the State… come home to troubled kids and an exhausted spouse… then die within 10-15 years of getting your gold watch, just when you were finally enjoying yourself and repairing the damage done while you watch your kids go down the same path…
That hasn’t worked out well for the majority of the boomers… although of course some of them managed to find balance and do it right and make it work for them…
Time for a new paradigm.
Find work yourself are passionate about.
Go live somewhere overseas where you have a high quality of life for a low cost and many opportunities.
Manage your work/life balance to find the optimal flow.
Never retire, simply continue doing the things you love and turning your passions into revenue streams and build them into your lifestyle so that you don’t need a vacation for your life and you can instead focus on your lady and your children
