More difficult times ahead

 


I only managed to make enough to meet the minimum sum for my retirement account. Had nothing extra to top it up. The estimated monthly payout I’d expect to get is equivalent to just $46/day. I learned too late that topping-up close to drawn-down date has no real financial benefit. How to cover the ever-rising costs of living, escalating insurance premiums and the monthly bills that keep coming? I have no choice but to keep working and selling my stuff! More difficult times ahead!
