people today drive vehicles with 900.00 notes and live in 4k square foot homes with 4k a mont mortgages.My father retired from GM at 55 years old, my mother did not work.
We were raised in a nice 3 bdrm home, decent neighborhood etc.
Retired.... 55. The average age to retire in 1970 was 63. But plenty - PLENTY of people retired before that. 63 was the average.
Today... the average FULLY retired (you don't work at all) is now 68. But plenty of people work into their 70s now to help with costs.
Thats THEIR FUCKING FAULT and no one else.
Im retired at 51 years old. never been on unemployment and don't get any govt. assistance. My wife still works because she loves her job.
we put one kid through college. we LIVE WITHIN OUR MEANS.
