Ways To Avoid Running Out of Money During Retirement
Ways to avoid running out of money
During your retirement years
Do not drink anything but tap water
Do not eat regular store bought food
Eat leaves and grass and stuff
Flavoured with the juice
Of a squeezed acorn leaf
Food as you know it today is strictly taboo
However, occasionally you can have
Somebody's left over fries
But only once in a six month period
And keep it to a quantity of two fries
We also recommend you occasionally
Go to a restaurant and sit down in a booth
However, don't order right away, look around
When you notice a family of six leaving
And there's still food on their plates
Calmly walk over, sit down
And start eating their left overs
When your waitress comes back
To your original table
Look the other way and keep eating
Keep uttering words like “this is yummy”!
Or, “holy crap, this stuff is amazing”
This is just some friendly advice
To other seniors to hopefully avoid
Running out of money during retirement
