I have a elderly coworker who I like as long as we don’t talk about the current day struggles because I was told “Money isn’t everything, at least I have my health”
Well I asked her “& do you have the money?”
“Well..yeah”
ALRIGHTY THEN! No room to speak! I get that older people worked for their money but these current times are NOT like it was back then!! It’s just not!! Between rent, gas, food, regular bills? It’s ridiculous!!! And the wages? You have to FIGHT AND FIGHT for more to simply LIVE.
She then today is going on about medicare and how it really doesn’t help but just a few days ago told me how America is still the best out of everywhere she has traveled (which is a lot)
I forever wish that if I ever get the money myself, I NEVER forget the struggle I came from and NEVER try to downsize the issues of that current time.
I understand that there are, CLEARLY worse countries and worse situations to be going through but that doesn’t cancel out other struggles
