I read this and felt there was truth in it.
I mean, Dh and I have worked hard, lived under our means, didn’t “buy” up a house, drive our cars for 19 years, brought our luck to work.....all the things to do right.
In the other hand, we never had a major medical problem. We only had one layoff (for 6 months) that ends up with Dh making a higher salary than he was laid off from (and joined a previous company that bridged his service resulting in a higher pension)’ we didn’t need to support our parents, we didn’t have a disabled child...the list goes on.
So, while we did a lot of things right, I am also aware we were lucky!
