If your house were burglarized...

[smiradenius]

Name something you wouldn't mind having been stolen. 

[[classic swim]]

Wouldn’t mind if the cat burglar cracked you with a pipe while you slept.

Your pension.

Burglar won’t be able to hail an Uber with his pension.

You really don't know how pensions work, do you?  The more you work, the more it pays in the end.  Same with severance.

Actually, the more you make the more it pays in the end, and the only reason you stayed on the same gig until it came to fruition is because you never demanded adequate pay to wheel around bins of vomit. 

If you did have a car or a decent home, you'd already be broke. Thank heavens for living like a pauper, and the mobile, glass working chiropractor 🤣

Contributions to the pension program are hourly, just like the wage.  How many hours do you think I put in over all this time?

Just enough to live in squalor and painstakingly attempt to wear hand me downs. We've established that. Just not sure why you're proud of it.

You really don't know what squalor is.

 

Squalor was what I had back in 1984, when my rent was $60 per week and my income was $122 per week while the work wasn't even full time.

Look man, you're doing better than you were 50 years ago...good for you, we should all strive to better ourselves....but what you're laying down as the prototype to success is saddening. 

You've worked your entire life to only make other people money while you've stayed stationary. This is not success....this is being allowed to live at a standard where you die penniless. Luckily you have no one waiting on an inheritance because you have nothing to pass along.

The problem with your logic is that I'm hardly what any sane and rational person would call penniless.  Consider this, for instance:  My lease renewal is due next month and I'm currently in a position to write one single check to pay the entire year.  Can you do that with your rent or mortgage, right now?

Laughs in ownership

But since you conveniently ignored what said, I'll try again. 

You will die penniless with nothing to pass on. Your settlement dies with you. Your apartment will just be rented to the next person. Any change you have tucked away in an account will be used to dispose of your body, and if you haven't already made and paid for such arrangements, whomever becomes responsible will likely chuck you in the trash "figuratively" instead of using their funds to bury you. 

That brick of silver will probably be traded for a quick $200 of meth by the scavengers who find out you died first.

There will be no burial.  I stated in my will that the corpse is to be donated to a body farm.  

The silver has gone to pay a really huge vet bill.

Circumstances have a nasty habit of changing.  Stay tuned.

There are no body farms in the north east - I think the closest to NJ would be in Virginia, and they may charge for shipping. Check out local med schools instead - they usually have a free pickup range, and will have you cremated for free. Plus, make sure you've got it documented somewhere so that action can be taken as soon as you die - if it's only stipulated in your will, you may wind up embalmed or otherwise made useless for study by the time it's read.

There's also the Mutter College of Physicians in Philadelphia, PA.

At least they won't need cold storage.
