minus-squaredaannii@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·12 days agoWould you retire in this economy? Especially if you had prescription drugs that were keeping you alive amounting to 2k a month? Genuine question. Would you ? Also. Not all boomers have a retirement fund. And social security does not pay out enough to live on. My grandpa gets like 1200 a month or something. A good chunk goes to prescriptions.
