I spoke the other day about rich people whingeing that they don't have enough to retire in luxury. In today's news there is a 67 year old man who hates his job and wants to retire. However the poor thing only has $700K saved up. This only gives him $28K a year in interest. sadness Poor old dear still hasn't paid off his mortgage so how will he manage on that?

How the other half live.

real crabs-in-a-bucket hours. love to vilify someone for being a fat cat who put $85/month into retirement savings over their working life. love to criticize the wealthy "other half" who have enough retirement savings to... checks notes live just above the poverty line.
