Yellow | Pensions/401k's

All just grocery money. 401's.
Pensions will soon be ancient history.
No future for the blue collar worker anymore. We will work until we die. Rich will get richer. And so on.
We put billionaires in office who select millionaires to buddy up with.
Then they make rules to benefit the rich.
We watch millionaires play baseball. Football. Basketball. Hockey.
Something is seriously wrong with the country.
Building a wall will keep us in also. No escape. Lol.
Random thought.

Why not an IRA? Tax deferred benefits for retirement similar to a 401-K. I took advantage of IRA's as soon as they were implemented.
Wish I had. I believed I had the wonderful CSPF, until the truth started bubbling up 10-15 yrs ago...

For the first 10 years of my adult working life I had nothing to show for retirement. Back then you needed to have 10 years of employment to be vested in any pension plan and I changed jobs often and never acquired any pension credits. In the 1970's when IRA's were first implemented I began to contribute and continued to do so over the years since. That helped make up for the lack of any pension credits for those early 10 years.

Since you're 347 yrs old, you must rival Bill Gates by now!!!

No ira's
It's a decent chunk. But not decent enough. 2008 took a chunk.
The Market is up 26% since Trump was sworn in. I made everything back that dropped in 2008 plus doubled what I had.
best to let your employer give you the $$$$ and you use a blended fund or another fund for retirement.
Good news is if you don't live the 5 years your dependents still get what remains. Not the pension program....
pensions are dying and if you wait for someone to help you our...... it will be a very long wait....
Unless of course, you are a Democrat then Harvey Weinstein will send some BIG $$$$$ your way. All you need do is pretend nothing is going on......
It worked for Obama & The Clintons....
 
Things come up in life you would never expect.
That's all I'm gonna say. I'm not delving into financial catastrophic episodes.
::shit:: happens
And no matter how much you save it can go in the blink of an eye.
No matter how much planning goes into it.
I know. It's just a fact of life.
