I know I don’t have retirement money saved up. Fortunately, I have a work at home job where no one can see me getting older. No heavy lifting, so I will just work as long as I can. Hi am grateful that I live in a time and place where I don’t have to pull a plough or shape and corn iron into horseshoes.
Medical bills wiped us out. We have nothing saved for retirement. I will work until I die.
Tell me about it. I worked around the perimeter of the house yesterday. Weeding, raking, bagging, trimming. Two hours later I was wiped out. Toast.
I could never do the physical jobs I did when I was in my 20’s and 30’s.
Thank God I was smart and thrifty enough to save and invest along the way so I’m fine.
Same here. My work is also portable, I can go anywhere.
I have serious concerns about what happens in 2025. President Trump will leave us with a lot of back stops, most importantly, the Supreme Court and federal judiciary. And wrecking the Chinese economy to an extent that they won’t be able to quickly rebuild will be a gift for years to come. Plus, he’s not dragging us into stupid wars and dispatched Obama’s ISIS.
However, the millennials and the generations coming up behind them are thoroughly brainwashed. It’s quite amazing. Go to any discussion board on any topic, weddings, parakeets, pianos, it doesn’t matter. There will be Trump bashing worked in.
As the Boomers make their final exits, the useful idiot class is expanding. They also truly despise Boomers, btw. They blame the Boomer generation for all problems and are convinced that taking their hard earned, double taxed social security is stealing from the brats.
Apparently, there are a few things they don’t teach in Common Core. The children can’t understand that without Boomers, none of them would be here.
But, the real point is that they outnumber the grownups and the stupid bloc will continue to grow as the reliable conservative base shrinks.
They will quickly turn America into a horror show. Unlike previous generations, they won’t smarter up as they mature. We did, but only because we were given solid cores as children, not full indoctrinations.
What type of work allows that? Sounds good for you, God provides!
