185% of what figure? I once thought about getting free stuff but I checked online and you had to be destitute to get housing, food, etc. extra money.

Most people would not allow themselves to get that poor.

With interest rates so low, once you retire, it is hard to safely invest for income without taking much more risk (eg. equities). Used to be old people were told to invest in .gov debt ...being the safest...structuring through the timelines of short, intermediate and long term (bills, notes and bonds).
