<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brian Calvert, post: 2856360, member: 75282&quot;]This will also sound boring and depressing. Yet, should be told... Where I made 15 - 17 an hour in early 90s, had paid bene&#039;s and lived good, wife&#039;s income was EXTRA income. Go back 20 years earlier and a guy could buy a coin with his extra income on one income. Now, I have nieces and nephews who didn&#039;t educate, career up, etc. They have no type of retirement, no EXTRA income. The thought of them buying a coin for 200 - 500 is laughable... I know people that live week to week, they are one mistake away from a 2000.00 CC bill that will take 3 years to pay off.</p><p>These are all people that would have done well from 1946 - 1990. But today, they have costs that we didn&#039;t and they make pennies compared to inflation. I know the govt and many believe it to not be true. Many hide themselves from these type of relatives looking at them as failures. They are not failure, they are now the bottom part of a system rigged to knock them down and make the rich super rich... Retirement plans are gone, medical costs are out of hand... Most posting here are set, set with a good retirement, or income... 99% cant afford it, sorry to say.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
