Worked at a defense contractor business for 33 years, then came obama.
I’ve been there. I used to work with people that made a lot less money than I did and couldn’t understand why I couldn’t afford all the nice things they had, and expensive lunches everyday, and Starbucks two or three times a day. I was saving some money too with tax differed retirement plans, which was one of the wisest things I ever did.
