Boomer Trumper father is about to find out how he fucked himself by backing a felon after he lost his directorship job at 70 years old. No one is going to hire him now. And he is not ready for retirement. By miles.
That problem didn't start by voting Trump, he should have been on track to retirement before his first term. You can blame the orange overlord for many things, but not for shit planning.
I mean things like health insurance that is now exponentially more expensive since they didn’t fund the ACA. Since he will no longer have private insurance. He will be paying 4x more than he would have a year ago.
At 70? What type of financial mismanagement is that?
Wealth extraction has hit nearly every group of people, including the elderly who we used to not rob.
5 kids. Where two of them still need help into their 30’s and 40’s. He has never been good at finances. He has maybe enough for a decade. But not much after that.
