Elena, you also wrote to us since we're talking about living abroad about potentially not retiring in the U.S. So what question did you have for us or questions did you have for us around potentially retiring outside of the U.S. ?

Since we don't give investment advice and our goal here is to empower people to make their own decisions, Ross, I want to ask you at a high level for other listeners who may be thinking about pulling back on their savings or pausing their retirement savings. What are a handful of things they should think through before making their decision?

Thank you for that, Ross. All right, Elena. So based on everything we've discussed, do you have any other questions that you would like to ask? And if not, what are your thoughts about what you'll do next?
