Confused about dryer sheets
Yes Ladies and Gents,
I am a retired soldier. I did that at age 37. Now some 20 years later, I had hoped to be at least semi-retired and enjoying the remainder of my life. Well between my poor judgement in life (either picking a mate) or my profession and maybe BOTH, I am wondering if I will ever be able to retire.
Now, with the "Folks" in the National Capital deciding that I either "Wont fight for my EARNED benefits or figuring they will get the support of the 80% that NEVER serve, I may lose part (if not most) of my military pension.
So how do those of you that came from lower middle class professions (most of the US Military qualified for Public assistance while they were in the service) make it after you retire or semi- retire? I always planned on "doing" things.. I did NOT however plan on HAVING to maintain a 40 hour week job to my death.
