Me too.

Sometimes things happen that people who worked all their lives have no control over.

For example, a horrible, long lasting illness or accident...losing a good job and not being able to find another one equally as good because no one will hire a 62 year old except minimum wage businesses.

My husband had a three figure income for 25 years. There was no pension involved - it was a theatrical position which he did for love. I was the one with the pension but am still to young to collect it. At 62, he was fired at will and now cannot find a job. It’s been a struggle for us but thanks to our own two hands - and some help from family - we’ve pulled through. We’ll probably work until we drop but, hey, they never promised us a rose garden. People shouldn’t judge until they’ve walked in another man’s shoes.
