How disconnected can boomers be from reality for her situation to be something she'd feel legitimately entitled to complain publicly about? How disconnected is the Business Insider journalist that heard her and thought "wow, that's newsworthy"??

In 3 years, she hasn't learned enough Spanish to be able to work. I wonder if she spent her time hanging out with other English speakers. And of course her visa probably doesn't even allow her to work in Panama.

I was looking at moving down to Panama, and I even visited a few times. But it certainly isn't a cheap place to live any more. That would be especially true if you expected to maintain a North American standard of living, like she probably does.
