“Shop till you drop” will become WORK TILL YOU DROP...
Baby Boomer retirement plan: Tax their children!
They all believe Hillary when she promises that social security will be there to take care of you in your old age. They are counting on old people not being able to shoot straight.
duh...gotta have that vacation every year, a new car, cable TV, a cell phone and saving is... well... hard. Plus the government will take care of me.
Some folks can’t resist living for now. They were born broke and that’s the way they’ll die too.
The article says retirees don’t have enough saved to keep their pre-retiree lifestyle. Well double duh.
And don’t forget the lardasses who run to the buffet 3X per week.
its awesome i have no lifestyle im bulletproof
Sell the multi bedroom, multi bathroom home.
Why 1 or 2 people in 3 - 4 bdrm homes
Sell one of the cars or better yet all of them.
Put the money in savings or invest a small part of it.
Folks create their own problems.
Everybody seems to forget “Senior Discounts” at Denny’s.
Retirement? I know of twenty-somethings with $25k to $40k on credit cards. That maybe a hole too large to dig out of...
Retirement funds,come on huh? We the boomer generation have been the most TAXED generation in the friggin history of the country. True there have been opportunities for some but we’ve also been expected to carry the financial water for a country that’s gone big time socialist with welfare,disability as well as education,highway system cost,foreign aid and tons of other special interest expenses.Save me the BS of retirement funds huh !!!
“Study: Many Boomers Lack Retirement Fund”
Those of us that have a retirement plan will not have it long... if the hildebeast gets in!

I’m waiting for the Super Anti Oxidants that scientists are promising so I can live to 140 and work till I’m 132. Won’t that be great?
The "lardasses" are not likely to put off the cardiac arrests long enough to need that retirement income.
Ditto and don’t forget about AMT.

You bet. And they've come at us with every tax in the past 30 years. Ironic, they call the boomers lazy, stupid, greedy, spoiled etc, yet my non-boomer parents bought their first home in about 1951, it was brand new for like $4,000. Mom never had to work, and good ol Dad and Mom raised our entire family on one income..We had two cars, TV, campers, vacations, great affordable health insurance etc. I remember Dad going to the gas station and saying, "gimmie a bucks worth or regular".
My folks first home is still there, and I'd bet if purchased today, the first 3 months of mortgage payments would equal what they paid for the home in 1951.
