    And if that is the situation, at least skip some pleasantries and contribute to a fund that has growth so you can afford rent later in life. That’s the issue I see, people will get to 65 and have a tiny government pension that won’t cover groceries and such, let alone rent

      Oh yeah, we’ve got one of the best government plans still available since my wife is a teacher and I’m fancy. We were a touch late for pensions (defined benefit), but we are right in time for defined contribution. Hoping we can use the money/die before it bottoms out
