Retired at THIRTY FOUR??? I would have gone stark raving mad. They couldn’t have chose a worse poster child for this article — some spoiled brat who thinks he can work a decade and then lead the life of Riley. Cry me a river.
What about all the people who planned to retire between 65 and 70 now finding themselves having to work a decade longer?
You noticed that too, eh?
That is certainly far from typical as well as a total waste of money.
Hubby just turned 70 and still works as a server in a high-end steak house. He’s done that as a second job for most of our married life and he’s really good at it. He makes $400-500 a night and gets medical benefits, so between that and our SS, plus his part-time job as a realtor, we’re doing okay. But I’m still planning on rejoining the workforce soon to pay off a few more bills. I figure we’ll be working for at least another 5 yrs.

Sam Dogen should not be sending his kids to college if it will cost $1.5 million!
He should go back into finance since that is where he made the money so quickly.
I am doing ok now but I was worried after congress wrecked the economy and the stock market went way down and prices for everything else went way up.
I retired in nov 2021 and 6 weeks later my AMD stock (computer chips) dropped from about $154 to $102. It went up to $120 $130 range then down again then in August it started to drop until near the end of Oct 2022 it was at $54.
It started back up and in May 2023 it rose $46 in 19 days to $127.
This past week it dropped down to $117.46
AMD doubled in about 5 months.
Nvidia (computer chips) more then doubled in the past 5 months. Near 175%!
I will buy the IPO when it comes out for Starlink (Elon Musk) in 2025 or 2026. He says he needs to make more money with it. He already makes $17 billion!!
I will become very rich : )
