That was a lot to digest! Thanks for the comment.

There goes that delusion. I agree, debt is just a silly number. Until Americans take it upon themselves and delve into machinations of crapitalism and ‘finance,’ we will continue to be duped.

‘Financial advisors’ are a huge racket. To pass on responsibility of a life’s savings to a fresh- faced Wall Street type is American folly.

So, in my dotage, I’ll be left to rot, unless I have a stash somewhere. No Medicare?
