I have worked all my life. Some jobs were gravy. Some, not. Some, lucrative; others, not so much. The one I have now is somewhere in the middle, if you don't count inflation, cost of living, etc. etc. I'm at the point where I have about one year to go till I reach "retirement age". Everything now is governed by the one thought: "if I do or say this, that, or the other thing, will it affect my ability to stay employed for the aforementionedd time?"
I hate the current state of affairs, but have absolutely no way to change anything; save retiring early. To do that would really throw a monkey wrench into an already complicated scene
What would you do? What would Jesus do? What would my Republican financial advisor do?
Probably, work till I'm 70, defer Social Security, and get a part time job to fill any time left that I have to feel sorry for myself!
Soon, I'll be collecting old paper sacks to use for my lunch (assuming I can still afford one!) and competing with the homeless for cans and bottles to recycle!
Posting this blog will be tough when I'm homeless, but I guess that's what's left of the American Dream.
