How does this happen? I guess car maintenance is a must since it’s the only transport method. What’s the average salary and what makes a hole in it?

Wellp seems we’re at the end of the bezzle. Finances officially suck now

The now elderly are the ones that voted against their best interests for the past 4 decades and got us all into this mess.

People are still voting for Democrat or Republican. Self reflection is a tough skill. Blame boomers and proceed to do the same.

Ross_audio ,

The boomers haven’t voted democrat since Carter and even then only barely.

The idea that both parties are the same does no good. Of course electoral reform should be the goal but not using what power is available to you only delays or reverses progress.

See there it is another person advocating to do what Boomers have done the last 40 years flip flop between Dems and Republicans and never change anything.

RvTV95XBeo ,

Please enlighten me - what is your approach and how much change have you achieved so far?

Here’s a really cool secret: you can vote for a third party that’s not Republicans or Democrats.

RvTV95XBeo ,

Cool, how has that worked out for you? Which third party candidate did you help get into the oval office? What laws have your third party senators and representatives helped write and pass? Do they caucus independently or with one of the big bad “both sides are the same” parties? How did they choose which “bad” party to caucus with?

How has 40 years of voting for Democrat or Republican worked out for Boomers?

Sickening. The main respondent in this article is a 70 year old woman. The fuck are we bleeding the elderly dry for?

Don’t worry, they’re bleeding everyone dry equally.

Its not the same when you’re stuck on social security until you die. There is nothing for them to do.

It’s OK according to my boss your not supposed to live on it. It supposed to be used for your end of life. Fucking boomers not only put themselves in these mess but they fucked the rest of us to the point we won’t even get social security. Something they take from us. We pay in out of every paycheck we have no choice. Yet we will never get the benefits from it.

I think of a recent thread here on food delivery services and how those prices are insane. I would never use them because of the cost. However they would be key for my elderly, mobility impaired Mom. How the heck is she supposed to afford that (especially since she won’t take help for it)?

She’s no longer able to do any home maintenance herself but has been on a fixed income for years: how can she afford to hire anyone? In this scenario, my brothers and I kick in time , money, or work whenever we can help

but I don’t see how elderly in her situation can afford to live otherwise. Each time I do, it really hits me how poorly we treat our elderly. We’re all going to be in that situation some day: do you really think it won’t affect you?
