There are only two solutions. Either (1) cut payments, or (2) increase retirement age substantially.

There are two is right

1. Put your $$$ in a mattress
2. Live with the kids

In the coming generations, how many have kids to live with?

Basically, I will be working till the day I die. Retirement is a myth that I do not believe in.

Your posts are right on the money! My objective for my retirement years is to be as self-sufficient as possible. I want my house paid for, my savings in "hard" assets, and no debts. The whole streamlined for minimum tax exposure as I anticipate a world where the "ants" will be raided to pay for the "grasshoppers'" laziness and irresponsibility. (Come to think of it, that's the world we live in now.)

Best regards,

Bill

My retirement plan's in the back of my truck. I've got a metal detector to help me find the change others' grandkids lost so I can buy that morning cup of java. On my days off, I can smile at people at Walmart and offer them a smiley face sticker.
