    In Canada, you can not up and do that. There are so many countries that are not on the tax exemption list and do not have a tax treaty with Canada. The only countries you can do this with in Canada. Without being penalized is the UK and the USA. It is also based on your income and how much you put into it, you also must have spent 20 years working in Canada constantly and can not be out of the country for more than 6 months, or you are cut off.

    I am sure there is something like this in the USA as well.

    I've lived in Cambodia and Colombia and I loved both, despite both having severe poverty.

    I don't expect it to be for everyone, but they are beautiful countries with much more to offer than poverty. I saw something completely new every single day, and truly novel concepts are a type of wealth of their own.

    There are places in the world with a lot to offer even in spite of poverty.

    beautiful places and living in a place is one thing. Growing up in culture where by poverty is simply a way of life. He talks Of living like a king elsewhere. Completely disregarding laws that are in place which benefits one but ignores the masses. Where the police and government is completely corrupt. I really have my doubts that storm would adjust, fit in, and not be a target for crime.

    for me, if I was living in Guatemala, I would want to work with indigenous people, live with them and do what I could to make their lives better, for them to prosper, not starve. My goal would not be to live like a king. This is why I would not live there. I would be starving myself in the end and most likely be a target as well, simply because it would be hard to blend in, looking as I do. People would see me as a foreigner which to many would mean money. He would be a target as well.

    you on the other hand might have been able to blend in.

    You're projecting things on him now. I read the same posts as you, and am critical, but im quite sure that's not what he ment with 'living as a king'. It obviously had more to do with being comfortable.

    Is he not comfortable now? I think he is, has the necessities of life. He talks as if he has it made and simply wants to have more. Is it necessary? Is he starving and struggling in his day to day life to make ends meat? He said living like a king. Would life be better for him there? No! That was the point. I believe you are the one projecting here. Again, he is capable of answering for himself and clarifying if I am wrong. No need for you to interject and speak for him on this. He did not respond or negate what I said in any way. he moved on to other threads.

    Saying one can live like a king means they would prosper more, have more. He says his life would be better there when he uses this in reference to living elsewhere. I disagree!

    Well in terms of social security income, it doesnt stretch very far in the US. So it does stand to reason he could live more comfortably elsewhere with a lower cost of living.

    Iraq does seem a silly choice though, not sure why one would want to leave the US for a war torn country that is occupied by the US.

    Here in America we say: Been there, Done that. I have been to Iraq and other nations several times.

    Lots of German women are married to Iraqi men and no one has harmed them. Your assumption about harm coming to you is bases on racist views which originate in your own mind. If you think the mountain desert lands were shit on by some bird, then you would not like Arizona, Utah, or Nevada. So, kindly stay out of America.

    Old age pension does exist in Iraq. Again, your racist views shine through.

    You're getting riled up. I'm just pointing it out because I have enough of being a part of it (i will just criticize the subject matter like i used to), but people like Irms and Beachballs don't and you will take the bait with hook and sinker. They aim to make you say stupid stuff out of annoyance.

    A truck driver can expect to make 2200 a month on average a month if the start collecting at age 65. If he retires later this can increase greatly. You can start collecting at 62.

    Everyone who retires takes a pay cut and has to adjust their style of living accordingly. No one can expect to make more once they retire or even maintain their lifestyle.

    people in the USA should sign up for Medicare before their 65th birthday, approximately 4 months before, this will reduce your premium. You might also be able to apply for food stamps (150 usd debit card for food per month) as well as drug benefits to supplement you lower income.

    social security is an addition to the pension you are entitled to through a company you worked for if it was in the private sector.

    people just have to become informed and know what they are entitled to receive through US government programs.

    If you never worked and turn 62 your benefits, amount you receive doesn’t change. For others it is based on income

    this is a pretty good site and also provides people a link to see the approximate amount they will receive.

    this is true, only to those who worked in certain areas and paid into the system in place,

    Iraq Coverage

    Cash benefits: Employees of enterprises with three or more workers.

    Medical benefits: Citizens of Iraq.

    Exclusions: Self-employed persons, agricultural employees, household workers, temporary employees, and family labor.

    Social Security Programs Throughout the World: Asia and the Pacific, 2016 - Iraq

    so many there work under the table and will not be entitled to anything in the end. Furthermore, Except in cases where an investment licence is required, Iraqi labour law does not require employers recruit a specified proportion of Iraqi nationals for employment.

    also, there is no reason to call Irmin racist, in my opinion. She has done nothing to warrant this title. It is wise to not abuse the word. It takes away from real racist actions around the world,

    furthermore, with regards to pensions, work force. I believe it is important for any nation to look after its own first, make sure that the jobs go to those who are qualified and live within its own borders first, before they look to hire those outside the country. If it is lacking within, offer incentives for people to study in that give area. If this makes me a nationalist, so be it. It does not make me racist. Those unemployed will start to feel an accomplishment and start to contribute to a system that will benefit themselves in old age as well as others.

    that picture he is posting is also fake, you can see it on the left side, his hand, finger of the guy holding that flag. I believe there was a cigarette between his fingers, but in the left corner of the flag you can see the flag is up higher as well. It is not natural. No one would hold a flag like that. Crossing his arm over that way.
