Want to wager a 6 pack that a majority of Trump voters DO NOT have at least $150,000 in a high yield savings account, Pensions, Social Security, plus Retirement Investment accounts to offset job losses and inflation?

I am not bragging, but my late husband planned for this starting in 1980. He KNEW that under TACO Don the first time required him to up the several retirement investment accounts and move money around to be safer when the Stock Market plunged during COVID. Our spending habits adjusted greatly to make sure after the 2020 election, we would be okay. When we sold our house in 2023, the Capital gains were immediately invested into 3 separate high Yield CD accounts to create even more liquid cash for later use. Those CD accounts have matured after 18 months and are now into a high yield Savings account and I put in another $10K to get an additional 4% interest a month. That is all in addition to his pensions from IBM, the US Military, a small manufacturing company he worked for for 10 years, as well as Social Security.

I doubt the average MAGA supporter and Trump voter has planned that over 20 to 30 years. How many of them live for today without a thought for tomorrow?
