(I am rabidly against being included in that demographic as I can't relate at all to what are deemed the defining experiences of the generaration. Also, I have felt screwed over at every juncture on account of their impact. To me, it was the generation of the hippies. Yeah, if you want to hear a full-on rant, that's a subject I can give one on, lol.) Aaaanyhow...
Even if it is still there, I wouldn't get anywhere near enough to live on. So, work it will be...

Yes yes yes I’m shocked there’s any left for right now. I can seeing it just going bone dry and then what ??! Ugh thinking about it all could easily lead me to a bridge. I have seen first hand the hell that so many seniors live with.. they give up meds for food or vice versa.
When I use to work Home health care I had a few people that truly were eating a piece of toast and an egg a day, or a single can of soup truly empty food pantries. I always made extra food so I could take them actual meals.. you know it’s heart breaking to watch a person start crying over something that might has easily been thrown away when I found that tub of leftovers way in the back of my fridge.
I always kept them stocked with bread and peanut butter , jelly in there homes. I wasn’t looking for thank you’s.. I always just thought that could easily be me one day.
Our country needs to do better for our seniors and anyone truly just trying to keep themselves fed. That’s a huge rant of mine
