Age because I'm so sick of hearing solutions for FAMILIES that are struggling, and old people.
You need to wake up and smell the coffee!!! Someday you just might have a family, and you definitely will get old!!!
You need to try living on Social Security for a while. Believe me - it's not easy street. I had to retire on disability at 62 and could not get Medicare for 2 years after that. And out of my big (ha-ha) Social Security check I had to pay my own medical insurance for those 2 years to the tune of almost $500 per month - not to mention the car payment, insurance, mortgage, utilities - and oh yes - food - and any other expenses that might crop up. The expenses far outweighed the income and fortunately I had a small nestegg (very small) to draw from. Some seniors don't even have that!!! I should have been an illegal alien in this country since they fare far much better. Be thankful for what you have and pray that when you have a family and when you are old, things will be rosy for you!
