about an article in LA Times

http://graphics.latimes.com/retirement-nomads/

A sample:

> Leave USA...$1000 a month goes a long way in a lot of countries, in USA you'll starve. https://www.kiplinger.com/article/retirement/T037-C000-S002-...

> > Her savings long gone, and having never done much long-term financial planning
>
> And so again we are expected to pay for the mistakes of others. What incentive is there to save if you know you have a social net to save you anyway?
>
> Yes, I understand, it is a terrifying way to live, I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but if we deincentivize personal responsibility, what stops this from becoming a larger problem? How can this be sustainable?
