WOW! Well said! I've been trying to tell people that a lot of folks put themselves where they are because they made poor life choices. That can be in the ghetto when a kid decides to join a gang or start using drugs. Of failing to take school seriously and dropping out. Or going to post secondary school for a dream career without regard to employment opportunities. Like say majoring in art. Far too many starving artist as it is and you want to be one more. And of course bad financial planning.
I have a friend who thought it was cool to be off the grid and to work under the table. A few years back he was injured doing an under the table roofing job and is no longer able to work. He's on SSDI and making less than 900 a month. I told him don't expect sympathy from me. SSDI is based on REPORTED earnings. He did it to himself. Sure I help him out some. But I don't listen to him whine about it. Now the wife's grand mother was a different story. She died about 5 years ago a week before she would have been 102 years old. As a typical mid west woman of her day she was a stay at home mother and house wife. She worked very few years where she paid into SS. She was getting 600 a month. The family stepped into help making sure her propane tank was full and that the property taxes were paid. She got put into a situation because of the timing of things. She loved canning so we planted extra in out garden and the MIL and wife would take stuff to her house and "help" her can when she was in her late 90's and blind. But todays person retiring at 65 who is counting on SS has not been paying any attention to the news.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
