They may be deluded, but don’t expect 50 and 60 somethings of modest means to embark on the great unknown at that stage of their lives.
Do you really think that sucession would pass a referendum in Texas?
I just turned 60 and don’t expect to be provided for in my old age by the government. I moved with my DH onto totally raw property, in a place we had just moved to - nothing but trees, leaves and dirt - that we bought with cash, from fixing up an old house and selling it, when I was 50. We owe not one penny, have had great hardships, live in a small cabin DH built entirely himself, along with every single other improvement on the property. I lived years without electricity or hot water and a few years without an indoor toilet. We only built or had what we could pay for with cash.
I embarked, with VERY modest means, over 50, into an unknown situation. I have no dependence on shopping, frills, hairdos, TV, entertainment, or stuff most other people consider necessities.
We don’t owe .01, we own our proprety outright, and are missing some teeth.
I wouldn’t have it any other way.
If people my age want to live a cushy life and depend on the government to take care of them, when the whole stinking thing is going to collapse anyway, that’s their problem. They should wake up.
