Anyone working after 50 is because they either want to or are a complete piece of shite at savings.


Like buying things at Walmart, using them, then returning them for a refund after you used it for what you needed it for?

No surprise. Low cost of living so you can afford to retire.

Mississippi and W Virginia tied for first in something.
It’s tied for last.

The vast majority of 65 year-olds would be retired if they were financially capable of doing so. This statistic is an indication of poverty.

The old saw in the 1960s was every year when state poverty statistics were released, the bureaucrats involved with such things in Charleston WV used to say “Thank god for Mississippi”.

It is less true now than then.

Made a significant financial decision
Washed car
Hiked 6 miles & worked out
Cooked dinner
Make love to wife

No alarm clock, no work weight on shoulders, no commitments, best sleep of life.

It’s glorious!
