If I can somehow manage to get my Aussie citizenship back(had to renounce it for TS/SCI) to be honest unless I had a reason to stay I mightâŚvery well leave the US for good 
its just majorly upsetting because I worked for 25 years to come hereâŚ

It really goes quickly. Except the last year. Ugh, that was forever. LOL.
My best advice is to protect your âhomeâ self and make sure thatâs well developed so when you retire, you already have that life waiting for you.

Hard to say which way is best mate. Bureacracy being what it is, you probably have some time to weigh the options.

Sounds like my retirement only substituting honey-do list for work. A perfect retirement.

This is what I found. Looks like you have two paths depending on the reasons for the renouncement.

Alot of the older generation that I know went back to the workforce cause they got bored of being retired. When i retire, i just want to bake sweets all day

When I retire I plan on traveling and talking to folks as a counselor of sorts. That would be nice

I know things are horribly tough for you but since I canât post links, I encourage you to listen to two songs that, somehow, managed to pull me through some godawful times including being a caregiver for my late mother.
No Easy Way Out-Robert Tepper

Oh that sounds like a wonderful idea 
You could get Applejack to bake yummy delicious treats to go with the coffee, tea, cappuccino, expresso. Huggy could provide the juice boxes, (with bendy straws, because bendy straws make the drink.) for an extra special treat we can have Lady Cyndilou all natural delicious plate sized chocolate cookies.
