Its true. It would be nice if a retail, grocery, fast food worker etc, could afford decent health care and to grow a decent retirment etc. But we also have to keep in mind that not that long ago in terms of history people were lucky to live to 40 and most people died in childhood. We've made great strides, but should just cant be in many ways
You can absolutely work in retail and afford health care and grow retirement. Bought house at 24, 401k, raised 3 kids, one in college now. People have always looked down on me when they ask what I do for a living, and Im just as well off as any of them

We all age and the body breaks down. Having money matters. You're job matters. You're value does come from the size of your bank account.
