If this is true, they confirmed what we should all teach our seeds—make your own way because nobody owes you anything. I understand that, on some level, this may have been a sweet spot for him—didn’t need much more than a job and place to rest. For many, this was all they needed and didn’t expect more. Maybe he truly didn’t get screwed and is fine with hit. I’ve been telling everyone I know to max those fucking 401ks and have some shit outside of that because these companies don’t-give -a—
If it’s true, let’s hope he had 50 years of stocks or a heft 401k amount and the email read “Don’t spend it all in one place!” Just 10% over 50 years in a 401k is more than enough to live off, and if there was a company match from some point, he’s more than good. That’s my optimistic view of it, cuz I would have been selling cigarettes and Fig Newtons out my trunk!
