Don't bet too much on that. A lot of seniors are in good financial
shape. They have pensions and benefits. Most of them paid off their
mortgages long ago. They aren't paying feed, clothe and educated their
kids.
I was ticked at our federal government for handing out money to all
seniors a couple months into the pandemic. They reasoned that some
prices had risen. That may be true but we aren't shopping. We aren't
going in vacations. We aren't going out for supper. We aren't spending
much money at all. MY wife and I are saving thousands of dollars a month.
