I won't get political since I know it's not ok on this group, but your story is truly heart wrenching. This is so horrible. I just turned a young 55 myself, and I feel like I am literally watching Rome starting to burn. I am old enough to remember such better times in this country, even though I grew up in the turbulent 60s, there was still at least a safe feeling. Now it is just frightening, it's like an air of impending doom, I just can't help but feel this way. If we do not succumb to criminals' exploits, both domestic and foreign, then there's our own government to worry about. If I ran my personal finances like they do, I'd be on skid row. Is anyone awake in the cockpit?
