I opted for an “early retirement before the 2008 financial crash. One of the provisos was I would receive a reduced monthly pension for life but the amount was fixed and not subject to inflationary increases. So what i gross now is exactly what I grossed in 2002. That along with Social Security and a small IRA payout are yielding a ststic monthly amount.
Guess I’ll have to cut my Bourbon intake to 1 bottle daily. 🙁
It’s very, very sad. I had a bypass once, and I understand all the symptoms. Your country missed a beat 5 years ago and took a dive. Cardiosharks have been preying and thumping on you ever since. Most people have become Gritty, Old and Crumpy. Nobody can run fast with rotten heart-eries. The “booger eatin’ moh-rons” are lost and just shuffling along, bringing all of you down. Sorry Toejam, but not even a bottle of Bourbon daily will help you. If you don’t get a savvy peacemaker soon, you will all be crashing down. Better pump it up, friends, if you want a monthly check up in your old age.
Painfully funny.
I feel his pain.

Yeah, I’ve handled that Pension Deficit Disorder, but I’m at an awkward age; too young for Medicare and too old for women to care.

The 2014 election is a joke, even if we get the best candidates, it will be Cook Countied to the communists.
