You missed the part where scammers steal the person’s entire retirement savings

A friend of mine recently retired. He said that his financial advisor said he was fine to retire at any time, but he was doing easy hybrid remote work and thought to keep working to save up a little more.

While this was happening, he reconnected with an old girlfriend out of state. He’d visit her once a month or so. They made plans for him to move out there once he retired.

He eventually retired and had moved out to be with his girl. After a few months her cancer came back and took her out within a month.

That was maybe 4 months ago. He told me the two biggest regrets he has is not retiring earlier, and not spending more money. It went unspoken that he wanted to have spent more time with his lady.

I’m not one to cry, but taking the train home after that chat had my eyes welled up.

You’re missing the spectre of poverty, homelessness, starvation and hardship that’s chasing him.

Where all the homies he pushed out of the way? The trampled? The neglected kids?

And let’s not forget the spouse! He should be on his third or fourth.

But if you keep chasing you might be able to afford the material possession that grants happiness! All you have to do is pursue wealth at the expense of yourself and others in order to afford it. And remember, you worked hard willingly so you should make others make similar sacrifices to live indoors.
