Strange Times

 

We live in times that are normal for some but for others that are not normal.  The key word here is NORMAL...  as it means different things to different people but that is not to say that these times are good or bad, they are just different from past times.

• We live under the threat of WWIII
• We live under the threat of AI/humanoid robots taking our jobs
• We live under the threat of Socialism taking over our government
• We live under the threat of race riots or a civil war between the wealthy and the poor
• We live under the threat of losing our FREEDOMS

There is a saying that goes something like this:  WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE GOT UNTIL IT IS GONE...

Some of us who reach middle age then become senior citizens, then retire know perfectly well what LOSING OUR YOUTH feels like and for many of us it is not much fun to grow old.

Many of us are deep into debt while others are debt free; the latter being a better place to be than the former.  But we desperately what to give others the impression that we are financially well off.

Some of us have planned for our retirement while many of us have not and when it comes time to retire, we simply do not have to money to pay our bills, so we either keep working or severely change our lifestyle.

There are also those who have the resources to retire but refuse to do so because they want to see how money they can make before they retire.  A few years after you pass away, no one remembers what you did or what it was that you left behind by which to be remembered.
