    I have enough to last 8 months after working 45 years and having a heart attack and having to spend my life savings on medical bills.

        It’s unclear why people took exception to that question. Retirement is commonly tied to your type of employment.

          What a strangely hostile response to a perfectly reasonable question. If you don’t want people to comment on what you say, you really shouldn’t participate.

            It wasn’t that hostile. And they never said people couldn’t comment, that’s a straw man you built entirely on your own.

            Participate in posting my personal work history which as zero to do with this thread and would do nothing to add to it except to invade my privacy? Ok Chief.

            It’s called having a conversation…… someone says something. Someone else asks a question to stoke the conversation….

            And like. Context as well. yes it is a diff conversation if they worked 45 years min wage vs 45 years as a mega corp ceo lol. It def is a valid question for someone to understand the conversation that’s happening.

            No ones being hostile by trying to get context to continue the conversation that was totally friendly until they got butthurt for some weird reason.

            Clearly the guy is ashamed of his job for the majority of his life and the reason he didn’t want to share it is probably the reason they let themselves get stuck there for decades.

            It’s a shame more people don’t accept help from others even in the form of discussion

              I was never stuck at any job and when I had my Heart Attack I was doing quite well.

              Lmao.

              What help>? To be criticized for not owning Apple stock?

              Get over your disappointment of not being able to pry into my life,

              and go get one yourself.

              You’ve hit it on the head and all the naysayers here are just being oppositional. This is sort of like that fake Libertarian rage you see periodically.

      Did you have retirement savings before the heat attack? How about insurance with a max you’d have to pay?
