As seniors that saved for your retirement while working your entire life for a better life in retirement,

I need to ask:

"Have you ever seen a nation full of able body people refusing to work, or quitting their jobs just for the sake of quitting??

What kind of financial future will they have ?

How will they afford homes here in TV in the future?

Healthcare?

Provide for a family?

Your Thoughts

I don’t think about it because it isn’t my problem. By the time most of them will be thinking of retiring I will be dead.

good grief - ... worry about yourself, not how others choose to live their life. And what the heck makes you think they will wanna buy a house down here?

OP, we are seeing this across the board in all vocations

I am fighting every day with the memory care facility that I have my wife at to just do their job.

for over $5K a month I expected more than what is being done..

there are more than a few of the younger generation that just aren't committed to doing the work that they signed up for

if you have a loved one in Memory Care, assisted living or any form or nursing home care....be the advocate and hold those that are accountable for your loved one to do their job

so sad that I have to continually monitor and raise this as an issue week after week with them. She's only been there 50 days. Yes I am ready to move her...but that is a total pain in the butt, and I'd like to have one of the better locations finally get their act together. I sense that 'agency personal'...code for 1099'ers are at the center of the issue. They just don't give a damn and are working for a paycheck (if they even work at all)

I hope the place that my wife is at gets their act together
...because based on the research I've done...they are one of the best....so moving the love of my life to another place may not make a damn bit of difference....how sad is that?

My thoughts:
1. Why do you put everyone in the same box ? I see many successful young people, doctors police, firefighters, entrepreneurs, etc.
2. You coupled your question with "As seniors that saved for your retirement while working your entire life for a better life in retirement" have you ever seen .... no connection. Typical of your generation - all about "me". Note the continuation of stereotyping.
3. If the younger generation is all that bad perhaps you are the one that failed to pass on values, culture, and work ethics.
4. If you really believe it's that bad what are you doing to help out - plenty of room out there for big brothers. It is a lot more productive to row than splash.

You had the "need to ask.

Because they think Socialism is a good thing. Let others work, take from them and share with those who refuse to work. Exactly what they are being taught in our government run schools.

Just a thought, but in real monetary terms the average worker now makes less than 1/2 the average buying power of the average salary just 30 years ago. Those who think the great resignation is all about people being selfish are out of touch. Most lower level positions no longer pay a living wage and working conditions have deteriorated, along with many other changes. Pensions are non existent and any benefits at all (like health insurance, paid sick leave, etc.) are now usually reserved for upper management. I wouldn't rush to judge until you have walked in their shoes.

lower level positions were never intended/designed to provide a living wage - they are entry level positions, an initial stepping stone into the job market & the basis to better understand the system so with hard work they can move up into higher, more responsible positions with better related compensation - not sure why anyone would not clearly see this

Quite a few questions - what are you going to do with the responses? Just curious.
