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
Why is everyone all of a sudden against “graduations” outside of HS and college? They’re singing two songs and getting a certificate with a sticker on it. Im down for whatever to celebrate scholars and keep them motivated.
The Epstein files are so bad that they gave us a war in the Middle East, $5 gas, hantavirus outbreak, and aliens just to keep us distracted from it
Let that sink in.
