I must temper my loyalty with the realization that it may still result in my being homeless when I can no longer work.
I must also be realistic about cost of living issues. Many of my friends are retiring to other countries because the benefits for older people are better, even if that person didn't contribute to the system during the working phase of their lives, and their money can buy more in these other countries.

Sounds to me like you would be better off moving to another country, Australia maybe?
