Only 68 but with you all the way why is it people our age were working at 15? By the time these lazy ass kids move out from mommy and daddy we all were married with kids and a damn mortgage..
I'm 34. My grandpa who died late last year was in his 80s. He was able to afford a 3 story house with 5 acres and support his 5 kids, and wife who didn't work on a maintenance man's salary. He bought his house for 70K in the 70s and it just sold for close to 300K. I've been working since I was 14, I don't have nearly the wealth that my parents, or their parents had at the same age. Starting a family is a lot harder than in the past as well due to social media and dating apps. Although I'm married now, I had a hell of a time finding someone.
It is the plan to make each generation poorer than the last until it all falls apart. 2 jobs plus my wife works - barely making ends meet... I feel your pain.
Yes - I've thought about that. I'm 71! Been working since I was 15 - paying into SS since 15.
