If you've have been laid off, seek new employment, even if it is only very part-time," she said.

Why? Unemployment benefits are forever now aren't they?

1. Die before the coming collapse.
2. Die before the coming collapse.
3. Die before the coming collapse.
4. Die before the coming collapse.

Leave the country, renounce your citizenship, come back as an illegal. Problem solved.

I just hope my heirs don’t kill me before the end of the year, although it would be a smart thing to do, financially. If I were on life support, I would have them pull the plug!

“4. Delay taking Social Security”

That only pays off if you live long enough.

Of course they know that. These are invesment people. They want you to remain in the workforce and keep investing - hopefully with them.

Also, as the average person getting $8k yr from their nest egg after retirement: If it were true, I don’t think that’s that hideous. In a two wage earner family you’re probably looking at $2k + / month in SS benefits. So that’s $24 k / yr right there, plus the $8k gives you $32k / yr.

Hopefully byt that point in life you don’t have any more payments to make, etc.

Granted, not the high life, but not starvation either.

Unemployment benefits are forever now aren't they?

No, they're "only" 99 weeks. Heck, that's not even two years. Cheap buggers in DC.

I would guess the idea is to stay in the workforce. I'm sure a lot of employers would prefer not to hire those in their 60s, even more so if they have been out of work for awhile. Again, a guess.

"$8,000 [per year]...is likely to be inadequate."

Author Robert Powell is a financial genius. I think I'll look him up and have him manage my money.

Rule #1: Think very seriously about your diet and exercise. If you end up in Obama's medical system all the other worrying is useless.

[vidbizz]

take your meager 401K, sell assets (house), & move to Costa Rica or Belize. You can live cheaply....

So basically this clown’s advise is...
FATTEN UP YOU SHEEP, WE’RE NOT DONE FLEECING YOU YET!

Here’s a better plan...
INVEST IN GUNS, AMMO, MORE GUNS, MUCH MORE AMMO!

When you retire use it to share the wealth of all of those who have been voting to take your wealth and distribute it among themselves. I for one am keeping my eyes on all the $150,000+ motor homes, pulling the $50,000+ SUV, with the $15,000+ in play toys in tow. Funny how they usually have a firefighters’ helmet sticker on the bumper. Serving the public, my arse!

5. Apply for an early death panel hearing.

4. Delay taking Social Security

No freaking way.

[Verginius Rufus]

Since the election I haven’t heard anything more of Tom Harkin’s plan to have the government seize private pension plans.
