Besides name calling, what is your criticism of what I posted? Do you believe the next generation is obligated to pay the debts of the previous generation? Do you believe that promises made by politicians are sacrosanct? The OP sounds sincere and her husband sounds like a saint. But they trusted politicians and now they are paying the price.
There is not enough money to pay for all of the promises that have been made and this lady’s lament will become very common.
The criticism stems from your verbal shrugging off of the problem- i.e., too bad, lady...You and others are in trouble because you “trusted a politician”. I’m sure she and many others did not trust the politicians, BUT she and many others BELIEVED that after working X number of years they would receive the retirement they are entitled to. We all know that the well is dry, and things are going to get bad for EVERYONE. But for you to be so cavalier about her situation is unnecessary and disheartening.
