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
> Mando, bring us our nephew.
> So we can kill him.
> Yes, he's a Gladiator for an Imperial Pit Boss we know well.
> Yes, the Pit Boss is going to kill him tomorrow, anyway.
> And when you bring him here, we won't kill him quickly. He's going in a sleep pod to die naturally.
Congress gets free healthcare for life, a pension when they retire, and $79 A DAY for lunch... that’s all BEFORE their $175,000 a year salary.
The system is a joke and tax payers are the punchline.
