(36,392 posts)I didn't mean that people want to risk their life savings at age 50. But those who live a simple life, if they had SS and health care, might be able to, say, work 3 8-hr shifts at the golf course per week and spend the other two week days with their grand kids, for example. Not entrepenuerial, but sort of a semi-retirement. It would alleviate the necessity for many early golden-agers to stay in job they hate. Try something new (not necessarily risky). I was able to do such a thing because of some savings and a scale-back in my life style once the kids were grown. Medicare for me would make things more comfortable obviously (I'm 55).
This move by scum like Blankfein to require wage slaves to work to their graves should be soundly ridiculed by the Dems. Good politics = good morals = good governance.
