sounds like he'd bitch if he got hung with a new rope...

most of us have played the same game...we all knew the rules...

I was debt free in my 40's, retired at 57 and apparently a 7 percenter as far as retirement goes...

all that as a blue collar worker making unspectacular wages... [.b]

  Sounds like the story of my life. What am I doing today to maintain my  $50K per annum way of life at age 68...?
I am pulling the engine of my GF's 2011 Japanese car that blew up. I'll be looking for either a rebuilt engine or a low mileage used engine.
What is she driving in the meantime for a "loaner"...?
My 1993 Jeep with 400,000 miles on it [that I had to become a self taught "computer controlled auto tech" in order to keep running].
If I had to rely on everyone else for my basic survival needs, I would have needed to mortgage my children's inheritance just like so many other middle class Boomers [who made much more money than I did] have needed to do.
