[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 3968020, member: 76548"] Guess it depends on which side of the blue collar spectrum they're on. Union workers, those in skilled trades, truck drivers, and other high paid blue collar workers can save for retirement and live a solid middle lifestyle at the same time. Many others can barely put food on the table and keep the lights on while living modestly and working every available shift they can get at 2 jobs. Don't think saving for retirement even enters into their minds when a missed paycheck can put them under. That's what they're thinking about - I hope I don't get sick, I can't afford it. [/QUOTE]
