The younger retiree appears to be more interested in financial opportunities such as starting and running a profitable business of his own, buying and working a farm, being able to live a fuller life and finding values which he probably was not able to find in his homeland's society.

Some of these retirees have gambled everything to go abroad. They sold their home or business and quit their job. They plunged to try something new elsewhere. But beware. Decisions to migrate are not always rational and for many persons their irrationality is much greater than their rationality.
