@instantgravitas: Be careful what you react to I got really mad watching a video that turned out to be a little less than the entire story. Maybe you saw it too. Well, in case you haven't, here's the whole story. I quoted a five minute mark if you want to catch the comment that was featured in all the clickbait https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaIkhExHbwk

if I have a Minister, s pay, of coz don't feel sandwiched. I feel she is generalizing positively and ignoring the fact that really sandwiched ppl are everywhere, especially the rising costs of elder care.. check out how much a private elder case costs..easily $3.5k. public ones? well . I waited for years for a place.. till my dad passed away .. from old age. seems like they choose excuses to justify a problem they cannot solve

if you are earning super high salary, there is no need to plan and being sandwiched. Money really talks when we need to make ends meet. No money no talk, everyone knows.

The full video doesnt change anything. We are sandwiched and that's a fact. Just because we need or should find ways to invest/plan etc, does not take away the fact that we are sandwiched, which the minister dismissed.

Talk is always easy, but sometimes individual ppl or families are different.

I watched your entire clip. Now imagine a working adult trying to make ends meet for his/her parents, children. The middle class and low income simply does not have enough resources to invest or even think about the future, when they cant even cope well with the present. Investing, taking calculated risks, all take extra cash. It is after all, still losing touch, and honestly, still tone deaf to the middle class, aka the sandwiched gen.

She basically said to stop griping and start doing something to make things work because you are on your own.

Feeling of being sandwiched is more than a financial burden. It can be an emotional burden or time burden. Investment suggestion is assuming that money can solve everything. Lastly, investing is something for the middle upper class. Should it be universal opportunities, then we won’t have migrants workers.

My reaction even after the full video is the same : out of touch. By the time I get out to work, I can’t buy insurance for my parents’ healthcare as it would not clear. I set up a Save-as-you-earn scheme and commit $100 for my parents healthcare. This is a fantastic scheme but sadly it has been taken away.

Truly baited Sandwitch? We mapped our path, we planned our way, Saved and worked day after day. Costs shoot high, wages stay low, Every plan we make must go. They push targets out of reach, While we struggle, each and each.
