Avoiding Running Out Of Money During Retirement

Avoiding Running Out Of Money During Retirement

Ways to avoid running out of money

During your retirement years

Do not drink anything but tap water

Do not eat regular store bought food

Eat leaves and grass and stuff

Flavoured with the juice

Of a squeezed acorn leaf

Food as you know it today is strictly taboo

However, occasionally you can have

Somebody's left over fries

But only once in a six month period

And keep it to a quantity of two fries

We also recommend you occasionally

Go to a restaurant and sit down in a booth

However, don't order right away, look around

When you notice a family of six leaving

And there's still food on their plates

Calmly walk over, sit down

And start eating their left overs

When your waitress comes back

To your original table

Look the other way and keep eating

Keep uttering words like “this is yummy”!

Or, “holy crap, this stuff is amazing”

This is just some friendly advice

To other seniors to hopefully avoid

Running out of money during retirement

Jack humorous exposes in his poem a reality, with a retirement excesses can never be made if you want to make ends meet, sadly in Spain of a sad retirement living five or six people among children and grandchildren, and I speak not pension thousand €, not, but pension of 400, 500 and $ 600, those amounts must be taken to get to the stomach to the tap water and the gastronomic offers of McDonald.

In my childhood, my best friend was an old woman of eighty years with Diogenes syndrome, she used to say:

"There is nothing worse in this world that being old with the aggravating circumstance of poor"

I think it was right, a young stomach holds everything from water from the tap to the waste of a supermarket, but an aged heart always needs more care.

A greeting, the poem is sad, real and impressive.

Thank you my friend,

That sounds like a very sad state for your seniors. It's probably a wide spread problem all over the world!

All humour aside, it is very sad!!!

Cheers, Jack

A superb piece Jack and so well written. The folk in charge don`t seem to realize that they will also have to retire one day!!! They don`t even try to make things better for those who struggle. Well done sweety. Lots of love. G xx
