Dignity for one of the Greatest Generation....

As I set by the lake this morning, I give thanks to God, that I am apart of the generation -- that loved work, loved family, loved our great nation, and loved their God!!

We will never again have a generation that worked so hard to succeed in life. Their are many perks to growing old in America, older people have no fear of saying or doing anything out of line.  After retiring they answer to no one directly therefore, they can be rude, uncaring, and don't care what people do or think of them, it's a beautiful life! So, the next time you are stuck in traffic behind a senior driver as he/she drives at their own pace - smiling. Let's stop to remember that this is the generation that built a massive industry in America's "Industrial Age." Lest we forget, that these are the individuals that fought in our wars and saw their battle buddies killed by the enemy, so that we can have the freedom and liberties we have in America today!!

Remember, old age is not permanent - but it should be!

Thank you - you are one of the greatest Generations!! 

Another Day - BBoomer of America!!

Dealing with death can be hard on a family, but reality sets in when you call the SSA and find out your love one is not eligible for the $255., due to them not having a spouse or child - who in the HELL thought of this crap!! At 85 years old I think the odds are stacked up against an individual!!! Oh, and if they pass away before the end of the month - they are not entitled to their benefits for that MONTH!!! Lord, please let me breath a full thirty/thirty-one days - that's my DANG money - Life support here I come!!!

Life is short, enjoy it while you can!!

I started today with a nice brisk walk in the park!!! Since today is payday, I guest I will treat myself to lunch and the nail shop!  That's what life is and should be about when you are RETIRED!!!

Enjoying it one day at a time!!!

P.S. Uncle SAM - I want my benefits (NOW)........

Don't use the "R," word in America!!

Baby BOOMERS we are destined for RETIREMENT-- When are you going to sat down and look at your future?  Nothing last Forever, so don't risk all the years you have devote to one company, only to be bought out due to downsize. It may not affect you NOW, but if will in the FUTURE!

A new day in AMERICA

Only in America can an individual work their entire life, only to be thrown to the wolves!!!.

I am a retired government employee/disable veteran who worked for 30 years only to be disappointed in retirement.  America has FAILED it's citizens, and their is NO ONE taking on this issue. An issue many Americans will face over the next five to ten years when baby boomers will have NO choice but to retire!!! In this country we are encouraged to work hard, when in reality our Government is not designed for YOU to LIVE longer than you WORK!!!! Retirement could be FUN if it was meant that way, but the truth of the matter is --- Retirement can be as exciting as you make it but don't depend on our Gov to make the transition any easier since their is no structure environment in RETIREMENT~~~~
