Some good ideas. That's the way it is here. My check is for savings and other stuff. We live off my husbands. We have had lot's of bumps and a few free falls but if neither of us could work we would do ok. We would have to go on a strict spending diet but I just don't worry that much. The getting old is a bummer but I look at retirement as finishing school. "Free at last!" :')
I hope you meant to include an apostrophe... but it also presents an interesting perspective on our social commentary that probably hasn't been experienced in large numbers until coming generations.
Free at last, indeed! I highly recommend it!
