I’m at the lowest level of rich and even at this level I fear not working and ending up homeless. How? In the US it is easy. I’ve already had major heart surgery and cancer, anr I’m 51. All it takes is a prolonged battle with cancer or requiring a heart transplant to wipe us out. Or perhaps one of us (wife or I) has a stroke and becomes fully dependent on the other. What if we don’t die early enough? We don’t have family or children. Are we going to die, sick, on the streets. How much money is it going to take for me to grow old in peace. When can we finally stop killing ourselves?
This country…this system…does have an upside, but has no safety net, no heart, no compassion and no pity. It is vicious and it is ruthless.
PS: You bet your ass I had to work through cancer and heart failure.
Bro sorry to hear about your cancer and heart failure. I really do have hopes that we can cure/medically prevent those two at some point in the near future.
you got enough money to change the country, why don’t you move to one that respects older people?
Some rich people choose to stay and fight for what they want their country to be, instead of only thinking of themselves. I respect that.
I do too, but only if one has strength and health.
