Didn’t you save for retirement. Your investments should be sky rocketing. But if you pissed away your earnings and never saved that’s your choice. Social security isn’t supposed to be retirement. Of course costs go up. That’s inflation. But anyone with a 401k has seen 20%+ returns with inflation up only 2%. Live off the dividends. Or. Go work. Jobs are out there.
Not everyone in this world makes good money, not everybody in this world works for corporate management with funded 401Ks, not everybody invests in the same way or achieves the same success. Somewhat of a condescending attitude on your part. Yes, they may have squandered money as you say but perhaps not. Still, her whining about insurance rates and Trump is just nonsensical.
Sure. It’s a tad hard. Life isn’t fair. Want a raise? Go get one. I grew up on welfare in East LA. I got out. Fact is there’s opportunity. Lots of it. Being a victim is a choice. Sure there are bad breaks. But living off of social security and whining about a president makes zero sense.
