In other words, my retirement is in great shape and when you put away $250k by 50 THEN you can call me a loser. Until then GFYS


Unless you make about $45k per year at 50, you're behind the pace you'll need to maintain your lifestyle and retire at 67. You should have 6x your salary saved by 50 - approximately.

That being said, you've got far more saved than the typical 50 year old.

You never know someone's situation on here, but as a lump sum, he's likely behind where he needs to be, even if he's significantly further ahead than his peers.

I see this stuff everyday.

My father in law however didn't save a damn penny and part of me is happy he passed away when he did.


Sounds like he did his math correctly, IMO

I love what I do for a living. I never want to quit.
I pity people who see work as a burden to bear for 30-40 years so they can say they're retired.
What a miserable existence in the prime of your life.

99% of Millennials asking about retirement:

"Can i start collecting out of College?"

My wife and I always thought we were woefully behind in our retirement savings. The last time we met with our financial adviser he showed us a chart of where we'll be at retirement age. We're gonna be better off than 85 percent of Americans. I was shocked, but I can tell you we're well ahead of that $163K with many more years to go. It's sad that in a country with so much opportunity that so few take advantage of those opportunities. It's also a sad testimony to the fact that so few actually plan for tomorrow. They have credit card debt out the arse and believe somehow that it'll get paid off without sacrifice. I don't get it.


Im 42, wife is 40, we are approaching 500k and our financial advisor has wife believing we’ll be living in street if we don’t invest more.

I am well prepared for retirement and the millenials I know aren't shitheads.

Unfortunately we live in a country full of shitasses of all ages.

Started adding to my 401k at 18.

25 now and at 55 I’ll have over 3 Million in a conservative market.

But millennials are dumb, lazy and know nothing..

They can't stop losing

Maybe paying for their kids to live in the basement is the reason.

And they deserve to be blamed. I was in the new HEB by my house last week, and was talking to an older guy stocking, because he looked whipped. He said that he had to put in 80 hrs that week, because none of the kids they hired would show up to work. They either called in sick, wouldn't show up, or found some other excuse not to be there.

It's typical. Hiring, even at a good wage is a crap shoot. Kids today are nothing like they were 20 years ago.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that HEB isn't necessarily a good wage.

Low wages are starting/training wages. Anyone with the aptitude and the ability to show up on time and be average at their job can move up.

Yep, right on up to that $11.27/hr assistant manager position. ( LINK)

Not to totally shite on people for working those jobs, but you get what you pay for with those wages. Luckily, there will be more kids lined up to fill those jobs for the three weeks they feel like working and then do the same thing.
