I am writing this blog tonite on the subject of poverty during this stage of my life. Mitt Romney said that the poor have a safety net so they don’t need to worry about their situation. I am not doing very well in this economy like a lot of people I cannot seem to come up with a plan for my future. I have tried a lot of things none have worked out at this point. We baby boomers have had a tough time in this economy. I should have done a better job looking out for this time in my life. I didn’t. Now I have to pay for my mistakes. Enough said.

I hear ya’. During my 20s and 30s, I thought I was doing everything right. Saving, investing, etc. Then medical problems did their thing, and my husband and I are struggling and in debt. The safety net is only for the bottom rung. If you’re just poor, then what? Can’t make the bills, but don’t qualify for that safety net. Sucks.
