Collecting pennies

by Glen C Schulz — Read all 19 poems by Glen C Schulz

Living on a fixed income in your later years is harder than you think.

Saturday, May 1, 2021

 The years are many and the work's hard it's true ,

     but you reap what you sow in the crisp morning dew.

 

Make haste while the sun shines and then dine by the fire

     it simply comes down to your burning desire.

 

 When too old to work but too young to die

    you'll need to be fed now and then as you cry.

 

 

 

Unlawful Flight, a parental kidnapping.

Yes...at a time when there is time to enjoy life with more time etc...
there is often hardship because of lack of funds...
As life expectancy increases it is something that governments
and individuals both need to address...
Plus perhaps information too on how to make money go
further...

I think Your piece has made us think...

So true. It seems like the majority think that Social Security will carry them when it doesn't. At least, Walmart and other companies have hired seniors in jobs like greeters to help tide them over and keep them connected. I've also known a number of people who retired and then found themselves back at work because they found retirement to boring.

When my life changed drastically at 20, I was already frugal. So I saved my pennies that would already have been gone had I not had, nearly by accident, long-term care insurance that any person expecting to be required to have care in later life should buy, but very early, otherwise it costs too much. In a way, a 401(k) is long-term care insurance.

Indeed, the year I worked at Dyess AFB men in their 70’# were still working, now I understand why.
Hmm, though you, with your good looks, can probably still charm the birds out of their homes.

Kewl to Seya writing!

Life is certainly a multi-faceted challenge. Working all your life though, and then, in retirement, not having enough to live comfortably and safely is frightening. Thanks for sharing. rlc
