What is retirement money anymore?

I especially appreciated those bullet points at the end--they were a nice mix of serious and silly. <br /><br />We were never rich--but we were never truly poor either. I never felt shame about how we wore second-hand clothes or scrimped on things. But I know my paternal grandma was highly affected by her "poor" upbringing. One of her strongest memories was of being ridiculed as she stood in the food line during the Depression and then walking the long walk home with the food, her feet aching in her too small shoes (they didn't have money to buy her new shoes and her mother was too proud to let her go barefoot--as a result, my grandma had permanently deformed feet.)<br /><br />I'm glad you rose beyond your circumstances--not just that you have more money now, but that you've learned to be thankful regardless of your circumstances.bekahcubedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449654823418176968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710381019162583843.post-27022729691964234482010-10-15T14:57:02.152-04:002010-10-15T14:57:02.152-04:00A great entry!
