Real retirees are expats - can’t afford the ins house and utilities anymore. Blame them sure... never the wealthy raping this country. Yep keep idolizing them. Another note- before many parents lived with their children - the boomers are far away in many ways from their mom or dads trying to survive.

Thats because 1/4 of Americans are obviously waiting for someone else to provide them with a retirement.

It's all about the choices we make. Opportunities are there for those willing to work and sacrifice.

I worked in a place that everyone had the exact same opportunities to build their retirement accounts. I retired at 55. Most of my peers couldn't even begin to think about retiring before 62 or 65. Why? New car every 3 years. Bigger house every 10 years. Financing trips to Disney. I never financed a vacation in my life.

Some are born poor and never figured a way out. Some lost a good job and had to use their savings. Most Americans just dont sacrifice and save enough.

So what is the solution? Go after the retirement accounts of those who did plan ahead? Raise taxes on everyone to pay for those who refused to plan ahead?

Raise SS tax? LOL to pay for a bigger pay out? Do it. Do it. LOL Ill laugh all the way to the bank.

Blaming inability to 'manage money' as a cause for woe is unwarranted.
Few Americans even know how bad the 'money system' is.
You can't win, even when you obey their rules.
Why?
Tax shift inflation nibbles away at the buying power.
Debauched currency and counterfeit fractional coin is another.
All federal reserve notes (dollar bills) are IOUs borrowed into existence - at usury.

To pay the usury requires MORE dollar bills to be borrowed.
Coincidentally, CONgress is borrowing more than they pay in debt service - doing what Bernie Madoff did in the private sector - without consequence.


Economically speaking, the folks who are unaffected by the money system are self reliant, self sufficient farmers (ex: Amish, Mennonite) that barter among their own and do not need "English" money.

It's Trump's fault. They were gonna retire until Trump became President. Now they can't.
I bet they vote for Kamala.

Yep, spot on. I know several people who think they should be able to spend and live as they wish, then feel like victims when they aren't able to save or get ahead. They don't realize they have to make some sacrifices for the future.
