Too Late
Too late? I don’t understand.
I mean, I thought I had more time.
I always had it in the back of my head that once I had enough money, then I’d think about things like solar panels, electric cars, maybe cutting back a little…you know.
The company I work for? Well, sure they do some things.
I mean, I don’t agree with everything they do, but I need to take care of my family, right?
I don’t understand how it could be too late.
I mean, just look around. It’s not like the world is unbearable or unlivable.
Like today – it was a beautiful day.
It can’t be too late.
It’s like they say. We can do anything we put our minds to.
And when the actual time comes, we’ll figure it out.
Really, how hard could it be?
What are we supposed to do though? What about GDP, inflation, unemployment – all those things that really matter?
I mean, my IRA can only take so much.
What if the whole thing came crashing down?
I mean, yeah, I guess I knew. It’s been in the news for years. But I never got that there was a sense of urgency.
It’s not like there’s pestilence, and plague and devastation everywhere, you know? You know? You know? Hello?
Too late? I don’t understand.
I mean, I thought I had more time.
I always had it in the back of my head that once I had enough money, then I’d think about things like solar panels, electric cars, maybe cutting back a little…you know.
The company I work for? Well, sure they do some things.
I mean, I don’t agree with everything they do, but I need to take care of my family, right?
I don’t understand how it could be too late.
I mean, just look around. It’s not like the world is unbearable or unlivable.
Like today – it was a beautiful day.
It can’t be too late.
It’s like they say. We can do anything we put our minds to.
And when the actual time comes, we’ll figure it out.
