I don’t have any money set aside and know few people who do.

We must all be liberals.

I'm in the other camp. I have money put aside, not enough to keep up a nice life style, but enough to not starve unless inflation goes ballistic. How did that happen? Well, simply put: I denied myself a lot of things like: new cars, most kept for 10+ years; just replaced our 10yo TV; don't own more than a flip phone; vacation domestically at moderate inns and the like; shop the sales and refuse to succumb to my wife's demand to have a pool built. My answer is usually this: half a mile from here we have a 3000 mile wide pool which doubles as an aquarium.

I’m counting on my children to support me.
