    Would you retire in this economy? Especially if you had prescription drugs that were keeping you alive amounting to 2k a month?

    Genuine question. Would you ?

    Also. Not all boomers have a retirement fund. And social security does not pay out enough to live on.

    My grandpa gets like 1200 a month or something.

    A good chunk goes to prescriptions.

      They should have done it 10 years ago after the first time they crashed our economy, not after they do it again within 20 years

      I don’t think they are talking about the average person. I think they are talking about those in leadership roles.
