Great reply:"I know of a family where one brother saved and managed to retire early. The other brother didn't and is dependent on inheriting a retirement income. Both were raised in the same household so you have to assume by the same set of values and had similar opportunities."There are people out there that deserve help and there are also people that don't. How do you determine who does and who doesn't.
I know of a family where one brother saved and managed to retire early. The other brother didn't and is dependent on inheriting a retirement income. Both were raised in the same household so you have to assume by the same set of values and had similar opportunities.
As for the veterans that need assistance, I think our country has failed to provide the assistance they deserve. Unfortunately I don't have any answers. There are individuals that are trying to help but more is needed, and it's not just money, but also people's time.
You just described my brother and me. A step further: my brother was given a free car after high school, I had to work buying my own car. My brother was a straight A student while I was C average. His I.Q. was higher (not now after drugs/alcohol), his business 10X more successful than mine. I have a few community college years, PhD for him (all paid for by parents, $0 for me).
Now he's bankrupt.
