PENZIONERKA RAZBILA MIT DA U NEMAČKOJ TEČE MED I MLEKO: Petra se preselila u jednu susednu zemlju i UŽIVA KAO NIKAD U ŽIVOTU (VIDEO)

Ni u Nemačkoj ne teče med i mleko, a to je dokazala Nemica Petra Kalenbah koja se nakon odlaska u penziju odlučila preseliti u Bugarsku.

Naime, ona u Nemačkoj ne može da živi od svoje penzije pa je odlučila da potraži sreću u državi u kojoj je život jeftiniji. O njoj je snimljen dokumentarni film 'Bugarski san'.

"Petra Kalenbah u svojoj 65. godini odluči kako želi kvalitetniji život jer ima mesečnu penziju od 700 evra i kada plati stan 500 evra mesečno i ostale troškove, njoj ostane nekih 20 evra na raspolaganju. Ona želi puno više od života i smatra da treće doba nije prilika za čekanje smrti, nego prilika za početak nekog novog života. Ja sam nju u stvari hteo da prikažem kao nekog junaka koji se u svojoj 65. godini odluči da preseli u Bugarsku, čiji jezik ne poznaje, ne poznaje ni ćirilicu, ali želi kvalitetniji i bogatiji život nego u Nemačkoj. U Hamburgu je ona čak odlazila po humanitarnu pomoć koja se deli jednom nedeljno", ispričao je reditelj Srđan Šarenac za Dojče vele.

Pojasnio je kako ona sada u Bugarskoj stan plaća 155 evra mesečno te da od svoje penzije može puno kvalitetnije da živi. "Može da si priušti i odlazak u pozorište i u bioskop, može da ode na večeru,... Dakle sve ono što u Nemačkoj nije mogla da ima iako je rođena Nemica i iako je tamo provela ceo životni vek i zaradila nemačku penziju",  kaže reditelj.

Bugari su je, dodaje, odlično prihvatili, a s najboljom prijateljicom komunicira preko Gugl prevodioca. Na pitanje živi li ona 'bugarski san', Šarenac odgovara: "Da, da. Petra sada živi šest godina u Bugarskoj. Ona je i dalje u gradiću Kavarni gde je otvorila umetničku galeriju i gde izlaže svoje slike. Pojašnjava kako je filmom želeo da razbije predrasude jer se s Balkana gleda na Nemačku kao zemlju u kojoj teče med i mleko. "Ja sam zapravo svojim filmom htio da razbijem taj stereotip i pokazati da u Njemačkoj postoje i siromašni slojevi stanovništva kao što su nemački penzioneri. Mnogi od njih su svoj ceo radni vek proveli u Nemačkoj, radili 35-40 godina da bi na kraju završili sa 700-800 evra sa čime oni teško, teško preživljavaju", kaže Šarenac.

11.05.2018 – Turn Off, Tune Out, Drop Out

An unknown but likely staggeringly large percentage of small business owners in the U.S. are an inch away from calling it quits and closing shop.

charles hugh smith

Timothy Leary famously coined the definitive 60s counterculture phrase, “Turn on, tune in, drop out” in 1966. (According to Wikipedia, In a 1988 interview with Neil Strauss, Leary said the slogan was “given to him” by Marshall McLuhan during a lunch in New York City.)

An updated version of the slogan might be: Turn Off, Tune Out, Drop Out: turn off mobile phones, screens, etc.; tune out Corporate Media, social media, propaganda, official and unofficial, and drop out of the status quo economy and society.

Dropping out of a broken, dysfunctional status quo in terminal decline has a long history. The chapter titles of Michael Grant’s excellent account of The Fall of the Roman Empireidentify the core dynamics of decline:

The Gulfs Between the Classes

The Credibility Gap

The Partnerships That Failed

The Groups That Opted Out

The Undermining of Effort

Our focus today is on The Groups That Opted Out. In the decline phase of the Western Roman Empire, people dropped out by abandoning tax-serfdom for life in a Christian monastery (or as a worker on monastery lands) or by removing themselves to the countryside.

Today, people drop out in various ways: early retirement, disability or other social welfare, homesteading or making and saving enough money in the phantom-wealth economy that they can quit official work in middle age.

We can see this in the labor participation rates for the populace at large, women and men. The labor participation rate reflects the percentage of the population that’s in the workforce, either working or actively looking for work.

That the number of people in the workforce has declined significantly is well-known. The US Census pegs the number of people ‘not in the labor force’ at 95 million. This includes people who are disabled, in school, etc., so the number should be taken with a grain of salt. But the decline in the relative size of the labor force is remarkable:

Interestingly, the labor participation rate for women has held steady compared to the entire populace.

Now compare it to the labor participation rate for men, which has absolutely cratered:

The difference between genders is striking.Gender roles in society and the economy are clearly causal factors. Many have speculated that the decline in traditional strongholds of male employment such as manufacturing explain the decline of males in the workforce. As for the high participation of women, we might speculate that being caregivers for children and elderly parents requires earning an income, and as these responsibilities continue to fall more heavily on females, it may be that fewer women have the option of dropping out.

As for turning off, consider this account of tech overlords turning off their own childrens’ access to screens (via GFB): A Dark Consensus About Screens and Kids Begins to Emerge in Silicon Valley “I am convinced the devil lives in our phones.”

I’ve written about mobile phone and social media addiction many times, so the reluctance of tech elites to let their own children suffer the ravages of digital addiction isn’t surprising.

As for tuning out, the strident voices of political polarization are not as widespread as generally perceived: Hidden Tribes: A Study of America’s Polarized Landscapefound that the rabidly leftist / “progressive” tribe is a mere 8%, and their opposite tribe on the right is equivalently modest in number.

It doesn’t take much observation to surmise that the majority in the middle are tuning out both polarizing extremes. Partisans may view this abandonment as negative, i.e. apathy, but this would be misreading the situation: the reality is the majority are tired of the poisonous polarities and the stultifying, going-nowhere toxic frenzy that destroys participants’ equilibrium and sanity.

An unknown but likely staggeringly large percentage of small business owners in the U.S. are an inch away from calling it quits and closing shop. At some point the ever-higher costs of burdensome, mostly useless bureaucratic compliance and complexity, the ever more costly junk fees, filing fees, permits, penalties and taxes, the higher costs of labor overhead (healthcare insurance, workers comp, etc.) and the ever-rising costs of materials and services make it an easy decision to drop out of the rat race and either sell the business to someone less grounded in reality or just close it down.

Those who tire of being nailed by “tax the rich” schemes can drop out by earning less. Sell out, move out, drop out. Unfortunately for all those who depend on the Savior State, the state cannot force people losing money and their mental health to continue operating enterprises. (At least not yet.) Once small business and the productive wealthy (i.e. upper middle class) sell out, move out and drop out, it’s game over for the “tax the rich” crowd and the local economy.

Dropping out is an increasingly attractive option. For those unable to drop out, turning off and tuning out are increasingly attractive options.

Understanding the Global Recession of 2019
November 12, 2018
charles hugh smith

Isn't it obvious that repeating the policies of 2009 won't be enough to save the system from a long-delayed reset?

2019 is shaping up to be the year in which all the policies that worked in the past will no longer work. As we all know, the Global Financial Meltdown / recession of 2008-09 was halted by the coordinated policies of the major central banks, which lowered interest rates to near-zero, bought trillions of dollars of bonds and iffy assets such as mortgage-backed securities, and issued unlimited lines of credit to insolvent banks, i.e. unlimited liquidity.

Central governments which could do so went on a borrowing / spending binge to boost demand in their economies, and pursued other policies designed to bring demand forward, i.e. incentivize households to buy today what they'd planned to buy in the future.

This vast flood of low-cost credit and liquidity encouraged corporations to borrow money and use it to buy back their stocks, boosting per-share earnings and sending stocks higher for a decade.

The success of these policies has created a dangerous confidence that they'll work in the next global recession, currently scheduled for 2019. But policies follow the S-Curve of expansion, maturity and decline just like the rest of human endeavor: the next time around, these policies will be doing more of what's failed.

The global economy has changed. Demand has been brought forward for a decade, effectively draining the pool of future demand. Unprecedented asset purchases, low rates of interest and unlimited liquidity have inflated gargantuan credit / asset bubbles around the world, the so-called everything bubble as most asset classes are now correlated to central bank policies rather than to the fundamentals of the real-world economy.

Keenly aware that they've thinned their policy options and financial buffers to near-zero, central banks are struggling to normalize their policies by raising rates, reducing their balance sheets by selling assets and tightening lending conditions / liquidity.

Unfortunately for central banks, global economies are now junkies addicted to zero interest rates and central bank stimulus / support of bond markets, stock markets and real estate markets. The idea of normalization is to slowly inch the financial system and economy back to levels that were normal in previous eras, levels that allowed some room for central banks to respond to recessions and global financial crises by lowering rates and extending credit to insolvent lenders.

But reducing the drip of financial heroin hasn't ended global economies' addiction to extraordinary easy financial conditions. Rather, it's illuminated the dangers of their continued addiction.

As soon as authorities attempt to limit their support / stimulus, markets wobble into instability. The entire economic structure of "wealth" is now dependent on asset bubbles never popping, for any serious decline in asset valuations will bankrupt pension funds, insurers, local governments, zombie companies and overleveraged households--every entity which is only solvent as long as asset bubbles expand or maintain current valuations.

So how do central banks normalize their unprecedented policies without popping the asset bubbles they've created? The short answer is: they can't. Rising interest rates are a boon to savers and Kryptonite to borrowers--especially over-leveraged borrowers who must roll over short-term debt and borrow more just to maintain the illusion of solvency.

As if this wasn't enough to guarantee recession in 2019, there's the unintended consequences of capital flows. Capital famously flows to where it's treated best, meaning wherever it earns the highest yields at the lowest risk, and where the rule of law protects capital from predation or expropriation.

When all central banks pursued roughly the same policies, capital had options. Now that the Fed has broken away from the pack, capital has only one option: the U.S. The Federal Reserve should have begun normalizing rates etc. back in 2013, and if they'd been wise enough to do so then even baby steps over the past 5 years would have led to a fairly normalized financial environment.

But Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen blew it, so it's been left to the current Fed leadership to do the heavy lifting over a much shorter timeline. Predictably, pulling away the punch bowl has spoiled the asset-bubble party, and now all the asset bubbles are increasingly at risk of deflating.

But the yields and relative risk available in US-dollar denominated assets is starting to look a lot more attractive and lower risk than assets denominated in yen, yuan and euros. Capital flows tend to be self-reinforcing: as capital flows out of at-risk economies, it dampens investment, speculation and spending as the economy is drained of capital.

Owners of assets notice this decay and so they decide to sell and move their capital to safer ground. Selling begets selling, and pretty soon nobody's left to catch the falling knife, ie. buy assets that are rapidly losing value.

This is what surprised Alan Greenspan (by his own account) in 2008: bubbly markets quickly become bidless, that is, buyers vanish and sellers who want to unload their assets for cash find nobody's willing to part with cash for a plummeting asset.

The central bank "solution" to bidless markets is to become the buyer of last resort: when no sane investor will buy bonds, stocks or real estate, then the central bank starts buying everything in sight.

We are already seeing this in action as Chinese governmental agencies have started quietly buying empty flats in ghost buildings to prop up the housing market. The idea here is to restore confidence with a relatively modest burst of quiet buying. But when markets turn and confidence is lost, sentiment can't be restored so easily: sensing their last chance is at hand, sellers dump assets at a quickening pace, overwhelming the modest central bank buying.

This leaves the central bank with a stark and sobering choice: either let the asset bubble collapse and accept the immense destruction of "wealth," or buy the whole darn market. This is the unintended consequence of employing unprecedented policies for a decade: like using antibiotics every day for years, eventually resistance develops and the "fix" no longer works.

Now that central banks have inflated assets into the stratosphere, there's $300 trillion in global financial assets sloshing around seeking higher yields and capital gains. How much of this $300 trillion can central banks buy before they destabilize currencies? How much can they buy before they run out of political goodwill?

Isn't it obvious that repeating the policies of 2009 won't be enough to save the system from a long-delayed reset?

This is the most important book I have written. It started when I asked myself a question: when we dream of the future of our society, are we hoping for the right things?

The current conventional-wisdom view of our soon-to-be future is rose-tinted: automation will free millions of people from the drudgery of work, then by taxing the robots doing all the work, we can pay everyone Universal Basic Income (UBI), enabling a life of leisure and artistic pursuit for all. The result: A future of Universal Happiness.

But is this accurate? Is this what UBI is actually capable of doing? More importantly, is this what we want?

And even more importantly: will this “future” be our best future? Will it account for and manage the practicalities of work, money and automation, given the limits of endless growth on a finite planet?

Money and Work Unchained drags the now-popular concept of Universal Basic Income (UBI) from the shadows of Pundit blather into a harsh, illuminating light, and in doing so presents an entirely new view of the future that upends our conventional, foundational, understanding of work and money.

This book lays out a practical pathway that realigns work, money and human fulfillment into a sustainable system that sheds the inequalities and injustices of the status quo in favor of a human-scale way of living.

And – it gives us a future to truly hope for.

“No money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time." ~ Article I, Section 9, Clause 7, U.S. Constitution

$21 Trillion dollars is missing from the US government. That is $65,000 for every person in America. That is more than our entire national debt!

What's going on? Where is the money? How could this happen? How much has really gone missing? What would happen if a corporation failed to pass an audit like this? Or a taxpayer?

This means the Fed and their member banks are transacting government money outside the law. So are the corporate contractors that run the payment systems. So are the Wall Street firms who are selling government securities without full disclosure. Would your banks continue to handle your bank account if you behaved like this? Would your investors continue to buy your securities if you behaved like this? Would your accountant be silent?

The Solari Report has been covering the missing money since 2000 when Catherine Austin Fitts began to to warn Americans and global investors about mortgage fraud at the US Department of Housing and Development (HUD), the engineering of the housing bubble that lead to trillions more dollars in bailouts and funds missing from the US government starting in fiscal 1998.

Now you've mentioned the clinton bush slugs. Listen to what I am about to tell you. There is a radical organization running a shipping container import business near Cape Canaveral. With the green lights basically import inspections, handed out by the slugs in exchange for unknown amounts of cash, these shipping containers could contain almost anything. Anything including short range remotely controlled nuclear proximity missiles. There is a number of different designs in service legally right now. And on the outside they look like shipping containers marked "Piggy Wiggly". In the past 10 years this shipping company has been in business literally thousands of these things could be in place all around the nation at this very minute. This came out a while back and the shootings in Las Vegas broke the focus on the story. We need to begin looking at this again!

We the people need to cease paying taxes for a government that refuses to provide us any kind of justice or security. We must insist that if they cannot bring criminal indictments against the Comeys, Clintons, Bushes, Obamas, Lynches, Kissingers, Cheneys, Reids, McCains, and all the other criminals at the top of the government and food chain then WE refuse to pay for their existence.

The IRS tax code 26 U.S. Code § 83 - Property transferred in connection with performance of services tells us that our services that we provide our employers is our property and it cannot be taxed. Yet the IRS and the courts refuse to let us even mention that part of the law in our defense and will punish us if we do. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/83

So, folks, the law is on our side against the criminals who have taken over our lives and we can justly and legally refuse to go on funding their illegal acts.

The filing deadline for taxes this year is April 17th; if by that date they have failed to indict and take to court the criminals destroying our country then we, ALL TOGETHER, refuse to pay taxes. Period.

I wanted to commend her in a email but the Solari website was taken down. What made me listen to this interview, in the first place, was your interview with Richie Allen, who I consider one of the more rational Alt Media personalities. These two interviews were the best I have viewed for quite some time. One has to sift through a bunch of BS to get to the bottom line most of the time. You wasted no time. Thank you.

The money changers aka the atheists aka the modern day pharisees aka Christ-haters aka the Carpet-baggers of the devil's children have always done this when they get around money. They steal. We tip toe around them and never name them and never point the finger like Jesus did. When we don't ALL expose these parasites we leave the world trusting them. They should never be trusted around money, education, politics, religion, medicine and anything else important to our peace and prosperity. Rabbi Dov Zakheim was at the helm when more than 6 trillion was stolen during the Bush II administration. They hate the goyim and do not care how many they hurt. We are not human enough to care.

2017 Annual Wrap Up – Does Your Pension Fund Have a Deep State Drain?

January 23, 2018 11

“Always be nice to bankers. Always be nice to pension fund managers. Always be nice to the media. In that order.” ~John Gotti, American gangster and head of the Gambino family

By Catherine Austin Fitts

This week on The Solari Report, I present the theme for the 2017 Annual Wrap Up – “Does Your Pension Fund Have a Deep State Drain?”

It’s time to change the narrative on pension funds. From 2009-2012, we funded over $20 trillion for the bank bailouts. There is $21 trillion missing from DOD and HUD since fiscal 1998. Trillions more dollars have gone for quantitative easing. And more dollars are lent to big banks at the Fed window at interest rates lower than 1% interest. And we can afford lower tax rates and bigger military budgets.

At the same time, pension funds are underfunded and there is – or so we hear – a crisis. Despite the laws and regulations to keep pension fund properly funded, we are told they are not fully funded. And, depending on what estimates you read, we are told we can not possibly find a few trillion to address shortfalls in the pension and retirement systems. And indeed, retirees are beginning to experience cuts in their benefits.

I struggle to find the logic in here. We can gift or lend $20 trillion to private banks to which we have no legal or contractual obligation to do so and to which approximately 80% of the population is opposed, but we cannot fund legal and contractual obligations to our own citizens. Why?

There are other riddles in the official pension funds narrative.

Countries such as Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands can manage changing societies and financial markets, can make reforms, and can take actions that deliver solvent retirement systems. Why the government which runs the worlds reserve currency do the same?

Some corporations, hedge funds and private equity investors are promoting products, services and activities that seriously harm our environment, general population and economy. Why are pension funds financing them? For example, why are pension funds financing companies that create expensive addictions because they make money for that company? Surely large pension funds have the strategic breadth to understand that creating an addicted population will detract from long-term performance.

Finally, circumstantial evidence suggests that boards and trustees do not fully control pension fund policies, which are heavily influenced by powerful outside forces. The governance of pension funds has been compromised. If the integrity of pension fund governance is compromised, are investments and returns also compromised? Do pension funds, like so many other institutions, have a deep state drain?

My goal is to ask questions about pension funds that can help us bring real insight into what is happening to us.

Svedksa, u penziju sa 69 godina, ne pre, da bi mogli da izdrzavaju imigrantsku Muslimansku socijalu -(58% socijalnog budzeta u Svedskoj ide na socijalnu pomoc imigrantima), i nema se para za penzionere. Ovo je probni balon, koji ce se prosiriti na ostatak clanica Evropske Unije, i onih koji ce joj se pridruziti u skoroj buducnosti.........

I just don't understand why Sweden is doing this. They KNOW that they don't have the population, job availability, and aging generations....they know that this will destroy their country. Not even the rich politicians will be able to live there anymore.....so again, why?

Retirement age is allready set for around 69 (65 earlier)! One will have the option to retire at 64 (not 61) or work past that. But if you retire poor 64 wont be an option you have to make it to 69 or else you dont get wellfare for housing just food (Total irony here!!). Every decition is done behind shut doors then press relesed to the population. All are a sleep, Just got to love it!

What Sort of Retirement Will $1,294/Month Buy in the U.S.?

What Sort of Retirement Will $1,294/Month Buy in the U.S.?

Retirement is an increasingly pressing issue for two reasons: rising financial uncertainties and the 75 million Baby Boomers entering retirement. In the U.S., there are already 38 million retirees drawing Social Security benefits. That number will soar as the Boomer Generation (born 1946 - 1964) retires en masse.

Meanwhile, financial certainties are eroding. The Social Security System is not as rock-solid as boosters claim; the Trust Fund is illusory, and benefits will increasingly be paid with borrowed dollars as benefits exceed the system's payroll tax revenues. The worker-to-retiree ratio is rapidly approaching an unsustainable 2 workers for every retiree.

Zero interest rate policies (ZIRP) have gutted retirees' income from conventional safe investments, traditionally the bulwark of retirees who can't afford to risk their nest egg. Most analysts agree zero-interest rates are here to stay--unless inflation takes off, and that will create another problem: eroding purchasing power.

The financial rules are being changed without warning. As the global financial system buckles under all the pressures I've discussed for years--demographics, excessive debt and leverage, stagnant earnings, etc.--authorities change the rules overnight to keep the system afloat.

What can we count on? Not much. Governments are raising taxes on retirement incomes, slashing benefits, and imposing an array of capital controls--broad;y speaking, what's known as financial repression. ZIRP and other policies have pushed investors into risk assets such as stocks and junk bonds, markets that inevitably suffer sharp downturns. Everyone expects these assets to bounce back, but we're in uncharted waters globally and we may find the next downturn doesn't bounce back.

In essence, the risks have been offloaded onto retirees. Defined-benefit pensions are only available to government employees, and as government deficits soar and yields on risk assets plunge, even these might not be as safe as many believe.

The Social Security Administration estimates that roughly 60% of the Boomer generation will have less than 75% of their pre-retirement income once they retire. Given that this projection is based on wildly optimistic assumptions about global growth and investment yields, the reality is likely to be far worse.

Let's ask a simple question: what sort of retirement does $1,294 a month buy in the U.S., Canada or Europe? That's the average Social Security monthly retirement benefit. Of course most people have savings, annuities, IRAs or other pensions to supplement Social Security, but let's start with this question: what sort of retirement does $1,294 a month buy in the U.S., Canada or Europe?

We all know the answer is, not much. Perhaps something along these lines:

OK, so it still buys a bit more than this--but not by much once we factor in the costs of three meals a day, routine medical expenses, rent or mortgage/property tax payments and some activities/entertainment.

If a retiree owns their home free and clear, lives in a region with low property taxes, has adult children nearby to help, is in good health and has multiple pensions and substantial retirement savings, then retirement in North America/Europe can be relatively comfortable. But what about everyone who doesn't fit this profile?

And how about everyone who retires early, or is forced to retire early? What sort of retirement options are open to them if money is tight?

These are pressing issues not just for Americans, but for everyone in high-cost economies earning near-zero yields on their savings while costs for essentials keep rising: that includes Canada, many European nations and other developed-world economies.

One solution--retiring overseas--was amusingly explored in the film The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. The plot of the movie is real-life for millions of people in Europe, Japan and the U.S., for what they can afford in retirement at home is miserable: an institutional warehouse for the elderly, a trailer park, a tiny room, and little money for actual living.

Overseas--in the film, India--their limited income goes a lot farther. How much farther?

Here's the sort of retirement that $1,294 a month buys in Southeast Asia:

It may seem unbelievable, but these retirement resorts/care facilities cost very little when measured in U.S. dollars. The monthly fee for Sadajiwa in Bali is 17 million rupiah. That sounds like a princely sum until we divide it by 14,620-- the current rupiah/dollar exchange rate. The monthly fee is $1,163 per person, and $1,846 for a couple.

This includes three meals a day, various activities, routine medical services (nurse's visits, etc.) and spacious accomodations.

In Chiang Mai (northern Thailand), 37,000 baht a month works out to $1,028/month to stay in the Care Resort Chiang Mai, which offers more extensive medical care.

Many of you know I have studied Asian culture for over 40 years, and traveled in a variety of Asian countries, specifically China, Japan, South Korea and Thailand. We have friends in these and other East/Southeast Asian countries.

Yes, the food can be spicy, the bugs large, the streets noisy, the tropic air heavy and the languages difficult to learn. But on the other hand, there are the immensely rewarding joys of new cultures, new experiences, new friendships and new landscapes to explore.

I have established a relationship with my longtime colleague Gordon T. Long's company, Financial Repression Authority, to seek out retirement opportunities in Southeast Asia. If you're interested in exploring this option, visit the FRA Retirement Solutions site, which currently lists three retirement facilities in Indonesia (Bali) and Thailand.

I'd like to share an option that I am exploring: active retirement in Southeat Asia. It has long been popular for Japanese retirees to retire in Thailand; the largely Buddhist culture is familar to Japanese, and their yen buys so much more in Thailand than it does in high-cost Japan.

So in a sense, we're simply following a path that is already familar to developed-world Asians: retiring (or spending part of the year) in culturally diverse, low-cost Southeast Asia.

Cost/Benefit Comparisons

As with retirement facilities in the U.S., there is a wide spectrum of services offered in Southeast Asian facilities. This makes it somewhat difficult to make apples-to-apples comparisons.

In the U.S., retirement facilities generally break down into three basic types:

-- Assisted living, for people who are able to live independently in their own room or apartment. The facility provides meals, nursing care, housekeeping and activities. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), "assisted living denotes a type of residential long-term care setting known by nearly 30 different names."

-- Nursing home, which provides skilled nursing home care for those with chronic conditions such as dementia.

-- Continuing care retirement community (CCRC) which provides a continuum of care so the residents don't have to move when they need skilled nursing home care.

In researching costs in the U.S., I've found the industry is very cagey about the costs of their facilities. I have yet to find a U.S.-based facility that posts its prices online.

Various surveys from organizations such as longtermcare.gov have found the average cost for care in an assisted living facility (for a one-bedroom unit) in the U.S. is $3,293 per month. AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) hosts a state-by-state data base of costs for Assisted Living (Private Room); the average cost is around $45,000 per year ($3,750).
