Who has to fly after 65?

Love flying, but unfortunately will not be able to retire. 2 costly divorces. Paying child support until I am 65+. No company retirement. Living on 1 pay check a month. No savings. Was stuck with the X's failed business debt.....yeah. I know a real sob story. Maybe some of you can relate? But I own all my poor choices.
Well I am after some direction and advice.
I am 60. Thousands of hours. Currently Captain on a B787. Paying half my salary in tax.
So after 65 no more Left seat airline jet job. Want to start getting options and prepare now. I understand I can try for Corporate, maybe try for fire fighting.
I am open to anywhere in the world. I am looking forward to doing anything pretty much. I don't have Corporate contacts unfortunately. Are there any countries allowing Captains over 65 in the left seat on a commercial airliner? No EU passport. Current ATPL.
Might have to even consider the Sim instructing. NP.

Thanks for any wisdom you may share.
