    It’s way more than that. Did they exclude retirees watching their savings dwindle as the stock market crashes, and prices and inflation rise?

    Like my folks are retired, well off, but… They are by no means anything beyond their own self imposed paycheck to paycheck. And as shit gets worse they’re stretching things every which way to avoid part time work before death.
