Many people in the older generation, such as my grandparents, are still working and saving money so that they can retire with a livable amount of money to survive on, because they know that they would not get a lot of money from their pension plans. My grandmother for instance used to work for AT&T back in the day and was laid off, because of this her social security that she receives every month is only $500 dollars. She cannot survive on that every month with bills to pay and unexpected hospital expenses so she lives her life always on a budget, which she has no problem doing. But I know that other people her age could not see themselves being able to survive on that amount, so they keep working even if it is a min. wage job. <br />-Domenique BuchananDomenique Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13651336728047615513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2532313388110978122.post-28774802715340367222012-09-18T13:16:19.301-07:002012-09-18T13:16:19.301-07:00I agree with this post.

They often express frustration that they are in no position to retire, and for the most part they all blame adult age children who are yet to become self-sufficient<br />-Brant CowanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08798898527382015629noreply@blogger.com
