Retirement

Since I am only 29 I figure on just working till I drop dead. By the time I need it there will be 0 help from government programs I have been paying into since I was 14.
 
What is retirement? I have nothing saved. I will work till my skin is gone and my back is broke. :****:
 
401K and praying the Government does not decide to take what I have saved and give it to someone who did not.
 
My wife & I pay into our company 401K plans the amount that the companies will match.
The rest goes into Roth IRA's & other diverse mutual funds with a long track record (at least 10 years) of steady returns.
We are going to start looking into buying real estate in the next couple of years.
 
I put 6% into 401k and company matches that and try to put money in savings but it's hard to do with my wife being a stay at home mom with my little boy, but I wouldn't trade that for nothing .
 
My wife and I both max out at the 17,500 plus the companies contribution portion. Both have traditional and Roth IRA's and we have a rental property.
 
The wife and I both put the maximum federally allowed amount into our 401k/403b accounts. We both also have Etrade accounts which are a mix of stocks and mutual funds. I use Bespoke Investment group for most of my stock purchasing advice, and I primarily buy Vanguard mutual funds.
 
I'm 32 an have been putting in my 401k for 8 years, my house will be paid for when I'm 40...I've crunched some numbers and retirement looks depressing , on the flip side: I have a **** ton of friends my age and older who don't have any plans of any 401k, pension, stocks or any other plan for the future ... My generation is looking like ****! They are all gonna work till they die, I also know several people with 2 and 4 year degrees catching dust as they flip burgers
 
With all the money I'm putting in my crawler, maybe I'll be able to sell it some day? That's about it!

EBT cards, Obama phone, and government assisted living. Way better than a nursing home.

Sounds like a good plan to me. Might even get me one of them cars on 30" rims so I fit in with my neighbors.

That is what I am afraid of. As much a this country has deteriorated in the last 20 years to socialism and entitlements, I am afraid to see what the next 20 will be like.

Yup. I will be pissed if my 401k gets shat away. I'm younger than most of you so there's more time alotted for idiot country leaders to fawk with my stash than there is y'all's. Although, realisticly, it may be soon enough in the future that it fawks us all in the poop chute regardless of age.
