Different World | Different Economy
I cannot imagine working hard for 40 years
and reaching the age of 60+. What it must be like to find yourself
unable to work with 20 years of life left and no savings to sustain your
life. When I was born in 1938, life
expectancy was 59 years; now it’s nearly 79. It is a different world
and a different economy, and we must solve the problem of how we support
those who have done so much, but whose lives now are extended far
beyond their years of production.

I'm 65. I thought I was set for my "golden" years. Seems it's not working out the way I planned. For what ever reasons my wife and I are now raising and supporting 2 grand children, 4 and 9. What we thought would be enough for us, isn't enough for us and the kids too so, we continue to work and are thankful that we still can.
