Those of us who are Gen X and older—let’s encourage our own children to marry and have children. I’m Gen X and my oldest is marrying in Nov and his fiancé has stated she wants 3 kids—yay! Look at Israel. It’s possible to be first world and have lots of kids. The secret is religiosity.

“...nearly HALF of American households headed by someone 55 years and older lack some form of retirement savings.”

A. Let that sink in. Mother Government will have to care for them.

B. Always save a bullet for yourself!

It amazes me that in one of the wealthiest, opportunity-rich and still (relatively) free nations, half of us can’t plan/save for retirement. Or a home. Or the rent. Or a car. Or next weeks groceries...

I’m concerned about the fact that hippies have basically run the country for the last 25 years. And that the last patriotic/loyal generation, the Silent, is dying off.

Somehow I think our overlords have been on it for the last few decades — and have the issue well in hand.

The boomers have squandered the best opportunities ever given to any generation.

It’s no wonder the younger folks despise them.

With inflation and the tanking market, the other half is going be there real soon, too.

Why should any American save for their own retirement? The democrats have been telling us for at least 70 years the government will take care of us. Look how that worked out for Obunghole. Never worked an honest job in his life and now he lives in a mansion with every expense paid for with government dollars.

The rest of us are on our own. Oh, wait, all those illegal aliens crossing our borders will save us all through their social security taxes they’ll be paying. /sarc/

Despite the widespread desire among Americans for early retirement, the financial resources of most are insufficient.

Mine would have been. But then Biden put the largest and most effective election fraud organization ever seen and stole the election. Now I'm dramatically lowering my expectations for the next 20 years of my life.

I learned long ago to pay off everything before I retire and sock every possible cent in to savings since I had no husband or children. My home and car are paid off so all I have is monthly utilities, food, etc. I still work a few days per week so that pays for my monthly needs. I put my SS check immediately into savings.

“America’s age tipping point is approaching — we’re totally unprepared”

Is that because so many kiddos with their noses buried in “social media webites “ think “I don’t have to worry about retirement as the government wil take care of me like they did for the college loan folks?

I planned for my retirement, which will be in 3 years max from now, But with Brandon in charge I’m not sure 125K a year in retirement will be enough

Stuff happens when you abort a large chunk of 3 generations in a row.

Keep up the abortions, folks. That will really help with depopulation.

Even Russia, which had a huge abortion rate under the Soviets, has managed to cut way down, and like him or not, Putin has been pretty good on doing this. If only for survival, since native Russians were diminishing daily.

As for China, they’re now trying to encourage women to have children...after years of “permitting” only one child and forcing abortions on women who got pregnant again.

Depopulation is a serious threat, and if only for that, leaving aside the moral issue of killing an innocent human being for fun and profit, countries including the US should try to reduce abortions and encourage births.

The number of Americans aged 65 and older has increased to approximately 56 million, or 17 percent of the population, nearly double the 1960 level of 9 percent. The majority, about 55 percent, are women, and among those 85 years and older, nearly two-thirds are women. T Also importantly, by 2034, those older than 65 are expected to outnumber children for the first time in U.S. history.

I'll read it later but note that some futurists and science fiction writers have presented the theory that robotics could make up the slack of fewer people of working age by 2034 instead of the globalists elites importing illegal turd worlders.

We wouldn't need to pay chump change to people doing repetitious jobs if those mundane tasks were automated.   My garbage service truck only has a driver now instead of two other people hanging on the tail, because that have a clamp that picks up the bin and dumps it in the truck.
