Making Do

Retirement is when you relax, travel, and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Well, that's what it's supposed to be.

Making Do

Clipping all the coupons

Hunting for the sales

We’re watching every dime we spend these days

The future’s looking bleaker

With every passing day

And we don’t think this problem’s just a phase

Real estate’s too risky

CD’s don’t pay squat

The Market has us practically in tears

Here we are retired

And we can’t make a dime

On money that we saved up all these years

No sense in complaining

It doesn’t help a bit

We’ll get by no matter what it takes

We’ll eat more hamburgers

We’ll eat franks and beans

And say goodbye to lobsters and to steaks
