Some of us figured out early that retirement was a scam. We have a government that controls the value of our money and investment advisors who line their own pockets. If we do retire, we live on a fixed income and watch the government devalue our money. No thanks. Being a retired person with nothing productive to do doesn’t look like fun either.
As a late-boomer, I just always figured there wouldn't be any money for my retirement. So, I've switched gears and selected a second career that I can work at until dropping over.
I'm grateful that my Dad has both a pension and Medicare. His pension pays for 90% of his medical care, and Medicare picks up the rest. Thanks to everyone who contributes today. He's a great guy.
