Peeps are afraid to sell their shit. I'm a boomer, and my peers, colleagues, and folks I've known forever, are dying.
Many have never really stopped working nor begun living the life they worked all their lives working for.
They all could have sold their shit 10 years ago and LIVED off the interest!
But nope! Their dreams die in their sleep. As do they.
That's sad. We have the stereotype of the rich boomer enjoying an easy retirement, but that isn't the case for a lot of people.
That's the most evocative thing I've read in a while. Props.
I'm sorry about your friends.
