OK, here's my situation. I've worked in tech for decades.....I'm quite tired of not using my brain and wonder lately about the direction of the industry. I saw how wildly successful IoT and data science has been (i.e. the most recent "flavor of the month" fields). So far my internet connected toilet can't reorder fresh toilet paper automatically so I'm mostly just skeptical about everything. Anyhow, it occurs to me...I have quite a bit in stock investments and am close to SS.

So I like what I've read so far about places like Costa Rica where I could retire and have tons of money to live on for life. I could work on my tan on the beach. So, why do I bang my head on trying to find interesting work when I could pull the rip cord today? Maybe I'm waiting for AI to takeover my job? Good luck with that...

I have a friend who just moved to Portugal for similar reasons but it sounds like housing has gotten more expensive there lately. Personally I'm looking into the digital nomad thing...just need to find remote gigs

Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

I sublease an apartment from a friend who is currently in Jail unfortunately. I wasn’t in the lease and the apartment found out from my personal check which I paid for the rent.

They refused the rent and after the three day notification has passed they refused the cashier’s check here in Orange County.

The apartment has put him up for eviction and I feel bad about this cos it was cost savings. Is there anything I can do to save this?
