My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense
I don’t know MF but I’ve met CC and she is every bit as kind as you’d expect. It’s heartbreaking seeing both retraumatized in real time. Black women’s conflict isn’t spectacle. This deserves care, not consumption. Black women in this sport deserve space to process complex issues.
I’m all for feminism and women breaking boundaries but I think I y’all are reading too much into this. She’s never had a break from gymnastics, and she’s been through A LOT in her career. Maybe she just wants to be a mom for awhile, while they still support the razorbacks 🫶🏻
