What pisses me off is how much I've invested in trying to earn a decent income, but the twin handicaps of being female and autistic/ADHD have put me in a spot to have a tiny pension and small Soc Security (if I even get there, I'm only 59). My husband works, we live in the state with the lowest housing cost in the nation (taxes are less than $500 a year), the house and car are paid off, and we have savings...but I still am baffled by people who take river cruises and buy new cars. We don't spend because we don't want to be impoverished in old age. As soon as he quits working our income will plummet from comfortable to borderline poverty level and that is because I didn't earn enough or work long enough--largely due to being female. Being female is an economic disability that sentences us to a paltry sum in old age. I am just lucky--my husband has a secure job and we've paid a lot of stuff off, but I don't understand how people get by.
