While being a permanent resident in a country, working there your entire life guarantees you a pension (in European countries), this is not the case when you move around. And you are unlikely to receive much if any money from the countries you work for a short while in. Since you are from the US, you should already be aware you need to save the money yourself for retirement. Just please consider what you'll do after 60 as well. | |
