Yeah the pensioners I know were definitely shaped by the last time it got this hard, and they were raised by people who experienced the depression… They will be perfectly happy living off Vienna sausage and toast or whatever other cursed preservative-laden calorie loaf lives in their pantry. (Store-brand potato salad once a month, as a treat.)
Meanwhile the cash will continue to roll in. They often have fantastic supplemental health insurance built into their pension from a retirement in the 00’s on top of Medicare. A policy so generous it can no longer exist. Would make a millennial’s eyes water. Those any younger could spontaneously combust upon viewing gam gam’s health allowances.
The smart ones have investments on top of all that, which taken alone could passively guarantee a comfortable life. Throw that bitch in a trust and - slaps the side - that right there’s a durable multigenerational wealth vehicle off a normal person’s very average career from 50 years ago.
