most construction guys got nothing. It's always boom/bust. three months of everyday work, six months of none, If they were lucky enough to work for a company that actually deposited their SSA funds they might have a little.

In construction there ain't no IRAs, keoghs, or that fancy librul stuff. Everyone wants all their money now.

I am one of those guys, so I do have an inkling.
