I'd like to read/hear a few more pronouns.
It seems like people are grunting at me.

Mostly heard from my brother who worked until he was almost 70.
"You've just been fortunate..."
Yea, well if you hadn't partied, gambled, drank and smoked every weekend, started having kids at age 18, and trying to buy everything all your friends had, you might have gotten lucky, too.
"But you were a two family income..."
If you'd told your wife to get off her lazy butt 40 years ago, you would have been, as well.
"I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, with parents who could put me through college."
Neither was I, numb n&ts, I'm your brother. Remember?
It's always somebody else's fault...

"I hear you, but...."
This basically means "I wasn't actually listening to you, but now I am going to shove my point of view down your throat".
