Down to the last egg

I’m a baby boomer, 51, and have worked in manufacturing most of my life.

Last year I lost my job and cashed in my 401(k) to keep things afloat – one egg gone!

Because of the jobs lost in my field of work, my second egg called pension is now in jeopardy.

Now our president wants to scramble my third and last egg.

If I had to make a choice out of the choices he gave I would have to go for raising the minimum retirement age for I will probably have to work until I die anyway.
