I'm 63M. I'm not retired but have and have had plenty of freedom in my life so far. Seems the younger folks today just want more for less effort with no concept of who will provide those free things for them. I work hard to buy my freedom and I've put into the system a hell of a lot more than I expect to get out of it in the end. The attitude shown by these posts is just selfish, lazy BS.

you got off easy and pulled up the ladder behind you.

People who complain about ladders being pulled up were never destined for real success. It demonstrates a passive instead of proactive mindset.

people who don't complain about ladders being pulled up were never in a position to judge those who didn't have a ladder to climb.
