No one is financially secure in this particular era....your financial security depends on past economic factors that can no longer be relied on. 100’s of trillions of debt guarantees that no one’s property or wealth is secure!
When everything went ker-fluey in 2008, hubby had, had a dream (nightmare) where he was sitting on the edge of the bed and he was realizing that everything he had could be taken away from him. Shortly after that, crash, our 401K became a 201K and he was wondering if he was ever going to be able to retire. He was in his mid-50's by then. Things are a little better now; but, he is still thinking 70s before he can retire with enough savings.
So, when young kids in your office are wondering why that old geezer isn't retiring so people can move up --- well, that crash is why.
Of course, everything is relative. I do have a lot of anxiety for my granddaughter.
Still happier than ever though, which is more than just having good times.
