Residents are also taxpayers and all one has to do is reflect on what the history of federal and state government programs and then brace yourself for the ride. I get very nervous when a resident(s) demand indoor pools, stripping of multi-modal paths etc.
I am sure there are some folks here that are well healed and spending is not an issue. While others live the philosophy of my last dime gone on my last breath. But I believe for the majority living on saved income that does little or nothing to replenish itself requires discipline and sound money management. I mean I didn't sacrifice my entire working life to foolishly throw my money away on nonsense or based on "I want"rather than "I need"
Some may think me foolish but my financial goal is to leave my kids much of my estate and for what I view as good reason.
So I would hope that those in charge also embrace this concept.
And to add to this unsettling equation is the possibility of some economic disaster that could wipe out retirees savings .
Personal Best Regards:
