You should work for the government. Fat pensions, gold-plated benefits, early retirement. Plus salaries well above comparable work in the private sector.
Save your OWN money for retirement? That’s for suckers.
My mom was a teacher and my Dad a high middle manager at the post office. Their pensions are OK. But no SS.
Their healthcare was OK, but not free.
Now mom is in Skilled nursing. She runs out of money this month. The cost is $9K above her combined pensions. She’s been retired for twenty five years.
If you are going to live to your nineties...there is NEVER going to be enough.
Took your advice - 24 years in uniform and 15 more years civil service training those in uniform....now comfortably retired and earned it honestly...so those who maybe didn’t take necessary steps can whine and bitch about those who did.
