Devilsmile - you're best years are ahead of you. You can have women by the boatload BUT you have to be aware that no women will respect a man in a relationship who has no plan. It's simple - short time fun doesn't require money, though anything of value/longterm does.
Best thing would be to get a grip on what you really want and follow it through even if it may mean death. Especially in times like these - high risk, high chances.
As for the west - some parts will perish others survive. If you have the chance/connections make a deal with people who are wealthy, be real and offer service/support be it from gardening to pleasure. Many wealthy folks are alone because they are constantly being circled by hungry demanding vultures wanting more than something for nothing.
