That's not "wallowing"... it's a statement based on reality as I see it.

To that end, I've been planning for the future and looking for a second income, something I could reliably add to a retirement pension (if any) at some future time... because I don't believe social security (if it still exists) and a retirement pension (if any) will be enough to live off of... not even close.

And my luck stinks, so the lottery is out of the question.
Buy a gun (or steal one if you can't afford it) and use it to rob a bank. Apparently doing that is no worse than downloading an ebook without the writer's permission. And under Stonetools' new world order you would get a shorter prison sentence if you got caught.
