I have enough to last 8 months after working 45 years and having a heart attack and having to spend my life savings on medical bills.

It’s unclear why people took exception to that question. Retirement is commonly tied to your type of employment.

What a strangely hostile response to a perfectly reasonable question. If you don’t want people to comment on what you say, you really shouldn’t participate.
you really shouldn’t participate
Participate in posting my personal work history which as zero to do with this thread and would do nothing to add to it except to invade my privacy? Ok Chief.

Did you have retirement savings before the heat attack? How about insurance with a max you’d have to pay?
Regular Americans are struggling to survive in a nightmare dystopia. News and weather at 11.
Not surprising that a lot of boomers got left behind. The American system is designed to grind everyone to zero with overwhelming debt to keep everyone working at nonliving wages.
Making sure income can’t match debts is a form of wage slavery. Company towns with mines back in the day. This current “economy” is that bullshit on steroids.
Marketing and the media are also to blame. We’re constantly bombarded by advertising and people telling us that what we have isn’t enough. We’re so status conscious and aware if how much is out there that they have us chasing dreams straight into massive debt.
I’m in my 50s with no savings. It isn’t lifestyle or marketing driven though. I just have had very few years where we had any extra. Also three teenagers and the price of food is killing me, cost of cars too. It’s just surviving that’s gutting me.
Those its “my money and I need it now!” commercials…devious now that a lot of folks dont have anything saved.
That’s because DEMOCRATS keep trying to SAVE Social Security! Why can’t we just GIVE that money to BILLIONAIRES instead like REPUBLICANS want to do?
