I retired at the end of 2006 at the age of 65 and have lived very well since because I maxed out my 401K and employee stock purchase plan the last 15 years of my employment. This guy probably blew every cent he made and saved none.
That’s what I’m thinking too.
My first observation was exactly the same thing. Couldn’t make it a few months more to get to his 66th birthday to get full SS benefits.
Like so many people I encounter in the 60 -70 age group, they have no savings, big mortgages, large car payments, student loans for the kids and themselves and are arriving at the retirement years in that financial condition that resembles the Federal Government.
I always nod when they unwind their tale of woe and how the “world” has treated them so unfairly. It’s just unbelievable.
