Why are boomers so ill paeprred? Simple answer. Many of us do not earn enough, period. When you earned a university degree but it did you no good in the job market. When you are living paycheque to paycheque in a declining job market, when rents keep going up and up, when gas increases to astronomical prices, when you have to pay car upkeep (and no, there is no transit to where I work and I have a degenerative disease and dare not quit this job because it has disability and I will never get that benefit in a new job), when you don’t get any increases at work, not even cost of living, when there is no pension plan at work and the profit sharing dried up because the company you work for is on the brink, when you simply do not have anything left over to save. No wonder I am terrified for my future.
