I'm gonna be REAL careful sitting next to silent, still looking types on park banches in future 😆 particularly if they have a newspaper rolled under one arm. 😆
The idea that pensions will be adequate for decent living is a fallacy. The economic bloodletting on its way in 2021?? We aint seen nothing yet!
I'm just so mindful that we're stepping out of the system with crypto and social media, and yet for oh so many there is NO thought to sustainable income for older age.
I realy like your idea of divesting and tidying up your life - it's some thing I REALLY believe in and must confess to being a serial declutterer who prefers to travel light. Well done you for making it easier for your child.

Here in the States...our government overlords don't give a damn about improving the quality of life for "average" citizens, whether young OR old by way of adequate economic distribution/compensation. I suspect that most governments follow the same path, with some far worse than others (unfortunately)
My senses lean towards expecting United Nations, Agenda 21 advocates (of which well over a hundred countries signed onto) to pull out all the stops if able and people will see and experience great hardships globally; far more severe than most ever anticipated. Unless of course...their is a powerful enough opposing force to at least throw a giant monkey wrench into the malevolent machine.
The Malevolent Machine - a GREAT title for a movie - perhaps the first released on the Hive blockchain?? 😊
It is a choice now to choose that place that allows the greatest personal freedom in a world which may soon collapse into economic freefall, as the failed system MUST first come crashing down before something new can rise to replace it.
I chose Thailand quite deliberately - subsistence lifestyle where it would be hard to starve too death, where it's mostly warm and the natural resources are plenty. The alignment with Big China is disturbing but there remains a sense of autonommy and personal freedom under the umbrella (pun intended) of Buddhism.
One day at a time.

Haha...Malevolent Machine might make for a good movie title.
Some wise considerations you've made above… You've probably had many more happy days there than you would have had in that place escaped from; within the same period of time.
Best wishes to you.
