  Heck, I don’t even work 60 hours a year.

  Wait what

    A few hours a month to enable living in retirement. It’s not a “regular” job or so.

  If you’ve got kids you do what you gotta do. It sucks. I’ve watched it kill a man in 50 years.

    Which is why one shouldn’t have kids.

    Kids? In these times? Unless you’re filthy rich? It’s just making new slaves for the master.

    And it kills a man probably much earlier. His body just stays alive longer

      Can confirm. I’m alive, except on the inside.

    Sorry man, you guys really have it worst (of the so called civilized world). Why not piss off? You already speak a global language and everyone pities muricans anyway, so no hate. Canada? Some place in the EU? i know a handful who moved here and now don’t understand why it took so long. You might be still poor here, but at least your shit is cared for, even if not 100% optimal.

      It’s a nice thought, the wife would go but not without the daughter and she Isn’t. I’m too old to want to get rid of everything and start again and too poor to move anything with me. Nope - I’m in it for the whole ride.

        Understandably. Us old farts are a lil harder to move :) Though this “health”-system alone would drive me batshit-crazy there…i hope life will treat you guys mildly!

    I’m sitting here, crossing my fingers that my father dies quick and soon. If he lives too long, he’ll need to sell his house to fund his elder care, and then I’ll never own a home.
