I was forced into retirement at 52 due to my health. I bet 1K my yearly income is much higher then yours young punk.


Based upon the modeling from our FA, we will make more money after retirement per year than we did while working.

Suck it.

It will or at least have the retirement age changed to 75 or something like that. It's an unsustainable Ponzi scheme and will collapse in flames like most government programs



Again, I’ll be long dead. We don’t include SS in retirement projections. I expect like 30% of earners to actually collect on it in the future.

By 2030, the worker to beneficiary ratio will be down to 2.

But really. The OP is an arse for the simple reason is that he has a Mom and a Dad that just might be in the boat a about these people.

I had pans to retire at 58. Saved a lot for over 20 years. Better then 20% of my gross income. Due to what medical expense is, what I saved I don't thing it will last if I live to 80. I'm 60 now and the wife is 58. Health insurance cost us $1600 a month now and that does not include for any meds or the $6400 deductible for the wife. My meds cost me over $550 a month. Just one cost $440for 30 days.

So, I feel we did without things when we were younger for no reason. People without any retirement will make out better then us in the long run.

Just wait till you see a market correction of 25%+. I saw two in my life time. Remember, FA's and the key words of "modeling". :bwahaha: :bwahaha: :bwahaha:

Another sucker and dreamer to think all is good. Hope you buying a powerball ticket.

Unless the market corrects/crashes at retirement age (and you're in mostly stocks, which would be really dumb) then market corrections don't really matter.

In terms of retirement savings, who cares if the market tanks once or twice decades before retirement?

We were above pre-2008 crash levels like 3 years later.

It's not. We will see a 25% cut to people on SS along with the retirement age raised up to 75 within the next 5 years.

What kind of goombah exposes himself to so much risk that it has a chance of losing 25%? I will work until I’m dead. I’m okay with that. I’m not going out into early retirement. As long as my brain works, I will be working

I had put everything in bonds about a year ago on my stuff. The wife's, she is in a somewhat safe market fund even though she is retired too. She does work a couple days a month, more if she wanted to.
