It is often assumed that people of retirement age will no longer have housing costs to cover. But for a significant and growing group, this is far from the case

Governments are mismanaging society. We need more say than centralized governments offer, because most common citizens know and can think of better paths and values than what's enacted now.

It's the centralization that has allowed such disrespectful politics to become the norm. Politicians only respect people who give them free stuff.

And we all know that not a single person is going to do anything about it.

I’d rather watch humanity fail, tbh.

I have no intention of being quiet. If you don’t like what a person says into the void, then shush.

People don't even understand that a free and clear house will have taxes, insurance, and other expenses. More and more housing is part of an association which has monthly dues. I think we will see big numbers of elderly homeless with gen X that will just get worse as it goes along to the succeeding generations.. Much like everything else.
