Your experience isn't the average American's. I'm an average guy who got reamed by his company and looked for alternatives that would give me a better retirement. It's not about keeping up with the Joneses in the States, it's about getting by comfortably with the resources I have.

No family or anyone in the US?

No assets here?
I made the mistake of quitting FedEx after 4 years of no raises in 1997. Got rehired 1.5 years later and was assured I would top out in 7 years. 15 years later still $6hr from top out at $18.17hr. I hung in there for the pension which they terminated in 2008. Got 19 years on it on lesser pay. Took an accelerated pension at 55 in 2017 to get more for 12 years then at 67 it drops to almost nothing. So making the most of it here so I can get a nest egg together when my SS starts at 62. I'll try living in the States on my SS at 67 but if not doable I'll most likely come back to Argentina if it's still a bargain. Be thankful you worked in a company with a union. FedEx got it rigged so that we couldn't get a union in.

Do you have transportation?

Do you have like a scooter or wheelchair?

I can‘t believe posting on a UPS site about politics all day is improving your life..but hey, you do you!

Are you like super fat? Is that what caused the diabetic neuropathy?
I'm 6'2" and for much of my FedEx career was 280-290 lbs. I looked like a football lineman. It was more about my diet that gave me diabetes. Ate a lot of fast food, drank sugar soda. I'm about 230 now but have also lost a lot of muscle. Used to pick up 150 lb crates all the time but can't do that now. 100 lbs maybe. I've got a bad lower back, bad knees that make steps hard, and bad feet that burn when I eat too many carbs.

My family helped me out with me staying at my dad's and my sister putting me on her family cellphone plan and letting me use a car. I paid them back by constantly running errands, doing chores, and giving my parents money. I still give them money but it's cheaper to live here than living in the States even with free rent and a free car. In the next two months I will pay off 4 credit card bills. Couldn't do that in the States.

As opposed to you looking for anything to belittle and smirk at? Why is it that libs always try to shut down anyone pointing out the obvious?

Do you think somehow your life will improve because of politics in the US?

Im just confused by the obsession!

I’ve lived, and our family has been fine, through multiple Presidents and various political parties being in control.

Would politics change your health or financial problems?

Why do you care? Following politics is a hobby. Pointing out to liberal Democrats how their party lies and cheats to maintain power is the cherry on top. And when libs try to discourage me I know it's because they don't have legitimate arguments so they attack personally. Prove the Democratic Party isn't a shell of its former self by pointing out all the current policies that are working well. Until then Democrats are more concerned about keeping power and changing the culture than in actually helping the middle class and working class have better lives.

when are moderate Republicans going to say Enough is Enough with these nutbag Trump supporters. Do we have to see dead FBI agents first?
an objective answer should be that we all should say enough is enough. I dont want to see any FBI agents shot but they at least can defend themselves.
now its your turn. your nuts go after congressman and supreme court justices . when will the liberal cult say enough is enough?
