Honestly, this. I was just thinking the other day, the hard bedrock beneath it all that keeps me going is the fact that I put my nephews and nieces as beneficiaries on my life insurance policy. If I want to make their lives a little easier, I’m going to have to begrudgingly keep going until the inevitable finds its way to me on its own.
Thankfully, my day job is usually enjoyable. I’m just not going out of my way to prolong myself. I’m over halfway to retirement age and can barely get by on what I make - the idea of saving for retirement is laughable. I’m lucky if I don’t have to touch my savings in a given month, but most of the time I’m shifting money in and out because try as I desperately do to save, I’m barely breaking even. Hopefully this Friday I’ll be able to add a few bucks again and finally have over $2000 in savings for the first time since my ex dicked me over last year. Hopefully. Life has been… relentless.
