My husband and I are both 69. The idea of moving abroad is very appealing. We have been tourists in Italy and France. Ive visited Belgium and Amsterdam. My husband would be willing (I think) to move sight unseen to Amsterdam based on things he has read and I have told him. The process is a lot more complicated than just selling everything and moving there. So I am not sure such a big move will ever happen for us but for me, it helps me keep my sanity. I have to have something to hold onto. It sucks to be this age and feel like leaving is our best option. But honestly, it is how we feel. It helps to come here and know there are others thinking and feeling the same thing.

It's a good thing if they failed so that they could make way for your turn on top.
