For all of my adult life, I have paid into the Social Security System, served 32 years in the military, worked for the same company for 28 years, and faithfully put 8% of my pay into 401ks, and now that I am 71 years old, I have two pensions, Social Security and my required minimum dispersements to live on.
I think of all of the years that my co-workers laughed at me for “wasting” my money on 401Ks because we would be taken care of by social security.
Now, I had to retire because it wasn’t worth it to keep on working when looking at taxes. Of course, Crumbles Pelosi believes that I need to have my 401k funds must be taken over by the government as I am not capable of handling my finances. Yeah, that is why I have a financial planner!
I planned ahead. I don’t feel a bit guilty!
Good job.
