Probably could come up with it but my disposable income/buffer would be less than I'd want. Also, I'd never want to move FT overseas, I'd want to maintain some sort of residence in the US and split a year. But yes, when I collect SS, that should help with quite a bit.

Heck, from what I have seen there are plenty of countries that you only have to prove you have a steady income, and a pretty low one at that. Youtube have lists of places from islands, Central American countries, to Eastern European countries that just require a small pension to move their.

This is true. Also toss in Asian countries. Steady income doesn't just mean work income, could also mean pension/SS income.
Separate from the Golden Visa to get permanent residency, many countries have "retirement visas" that will grant you much less hassle going back-and-forth; allows you the privilege to stay 5-10-15 years and also renew; etc. Just can't work.
