I’m 65 and this sounds like nobody I know. And as for having it so great for so long, you don’t know much, do you? I graduated from college in 1980 and jobs were hard to come by. I moved to California so my husband could get a job in IT. I worked in marketing for a small tech firm and made very little money. His job was better but he was hardly making big bucks. In 15 years, I never made more than $17 an hour and that was as an HR and Communications Manager at a geotechnical firm with offices throughout California.

We were able to buy a house when I was 30 which we refinanced several times over the years. It was a small bungalow that needed work. I worked for several companies that went out of business. My husband was working 60 to 70 hours a week with the threat of layoffs hanging over his head constantly. I’ve lost count of the number of times we were outsourced or downsized.

Then the 2008 recession hit and we both lost our jobs at once. Our son is still in recovery from the cascade of disaster that set in motion. My husband, now over 50 and in IT, was out of work for three years. We ran through half of our retirement savings and moved across the country twice before we got on our feet again. At one point we were living in a basement on Long Island with rats and a badly wired stove.

So tell me more about how lucky I am.

This piece is nothing but ignorant, hateful bigotry.
