Fountain Hills resident Bill Meade says he has had a good life, enough so to retire early, but since the pandemic his eyes have been opened to an ever-increasing wealth gap in this country that finds his own millennial children struggling to make ends meet.
Meade said he made a decision to devote this time of his life in an effort to make things better for the middle class being left behind. He started doing research about a year ago and in seeking advice he recalls being told his effort would be like “climbing Mount Everest with no legs.”
“An attitude like that is the reason nothing ever gets changed,” Meade said.
