While we are comfortable, but not retired, and well beyond retirement years, my wife is not comforted by my comments that should the economy entirely fail, we will all be in the same boat. Her retort is “the government is going to take it all”. We essentially scrimped and saved our entire lives and depending on how you look at it. We are now even more dependent on Government than ever before, to not take what we saved for retirement, and to continue with SS and military retirement payments.
I will admit that is not a comfortable position to be in considering today’s world.
