I retired with a modest savings that I immediately invested into non-liquid assets, if you must know.

In deciding (my choice)to do so I took a six+, potentially more, figure loss.

The chair is nothing, oh 'friend to the handicapped', the van we need costs 60, 000. Am I sposed to pull that out of my "rich", retired ass too?

Pardon me for being reduced to beggar in your eyes due to my families catastrophic illness....so much for 'compassionate conservatism'.

Keep typing gramps......
