Re #15 and #12, I did those surveys, called the American Time Use Survey, for a living until my retirement last fall. Working for the federal government became more and more strenuous during the time of shutdowns and malicious politics, but when we see the results of our work used on such visible and great sources as List 25, it makes it all worth it!

Since you have revealed the existence of this discrepancy, you'll have to be called in for interrogation. It could get rough." JUST JOKING, if my ex-employer is reading this. Actually, Mike's script did not account for the singles compared with couples, children who do housework (which I suppose happens once in a while), hired housekeepers, and maybe even robot vacuum cleaners. IOW, for several reasons those numbers should not be expected to add up to 100.

A largely unknown fact is that the adult lifespan has not increased significantly over the past centuries; the statistic about average lifespan being thirty years in the medieval period was driven by truly horrific rates of infant and maternal mortality, with up to half of all children born dying before their first birthday. Barring death from military activity or accidents, if you survived to adulthood, you could expect to live to your sixties.

Should you expect someone aged 27-42 to have sufficient funds for retirement? IN my late 20s, my wife and I had no money at all in retirement. IN our early 30s I was able to start a 401K (they just started becoming common) and our net worth may have finally started being in the black if we didn't use HHG as an asset. Our early 40s was different but we certainly didn't have enough then. We ended up retiring at age 58 & 59. It is unrealistic to think you would have sufficient funds to retire by that age.

@sandybruce9092 Месяц назад

We are in the much older category (over 70 but several years - and my husband started buying stock when he was in college! We’ve had ups and downs with investments, but we still have enough to not have a problem - unless we all get blown up or,something🤨🤨. People need to really think ahead in more than one day, week, etc!

Is there a national spreadsheet of people who call up to log each time they have driven drunk without being apprehended? This one definitely falls under the 'a number plucked out of someone's arse' category I'm afraid.

I keep stuff on my bed, but that's because my arthritis causes me to roll over or switch and in the past, until I realised what was happening, I fell out of my bed, or hit the wall. It hems me in along with furniture up against my pillows. In the UK we have state pensions, but you have to have accrued enough income tax to get one, otherwise you have to have a private pension or live on benefits in old age, if you can get it. The problem with actually being clever, is realising what a lot of big headed idiots, some people are. It always shocks me how many people ignore eyesight problems, some of then walk into other people in the street. My late father was a student at Cambridge, when he met my late mother who was working for a government agricultural office, as a secretary, in Cambridge, England in the fifties.

@kaydisney9872 Месяц назад

Except if you are say on disability benifits and cannot pay taxes, they are payed for you but still technically not enough. You still get a state pension however, which is then topped up by other benifits, so you get the money anyway!!!! It's not like you have none. It's the exact same amount as state pension, more if you need help, such as attendance allowance to pay someone to help you with stuff, on top of everything else.

I feel like the older generations remember having nothing, or growing up with parents who grew up pre benifits, so to them they are just so happy to afford stuff. My mum can pay her bills and food. On other hand, when we were kids they struggled a LOT. (My siblings and I are a mix of young Gen X and Millennials) I worry about what happens when especially us younger ones end up as pensioners!
