I mentioned that some reading this post are living proof that governments fail and I had your country in mind.
Being debt free is awesome, so many keep building debt, credit debt, and think they're living their best life but...nope.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
One of my biggest fears in countries like yours is precisely living in mortgaged houses...from here I don't understand how retirees in your country can cope with it.....
Although here either most people can't own their own house, unless they inherit them, allowances, lots of money, outside help, or jobs that are not with the government and are very well paid, all like that in a general sense.
But I really shouldn't compare one system to the other, it's decidedly not fair, because retirees here can barely make enough to eat.. 🥺, from an excellent doctor to an average professional technician.
I think they didn't allow us to plan for the future by making us believe that everything would be fine.
They promised so much.
It's very difficult (impossible really) to draw parallels between your country and mine, they are worlds apart economically.
As for retirees unable to eat properly, the same happens here despite there being a government aged pension; the cost of living is extreme and only going upwards.
Very unfortunate to know that.
I must tell you that I have learned some interesting things about your lifestyle.
Thank you
I resemble that remark...
Indeed.
