Why so little at age 23?

Why is that any of your business.

Thank you. I’m doing what I can.

From our early estimates, it looks like we can stash up enough money over this year where we’ll be set in 2009. I’ll take out a special-rate student loan through my mother’s employer, use that money to finish school, and then get the heck to work. (I’m a Computer Information Systems major. Should be plenty of local employment to go around. Hospitals need computer support.)

It means I’ll have been an on-again/off-again student for seven years, even though I’ll have actually been going to class for only 5 1/2 of those seven years, but hey, I have an excuse.

"We lost his paycheck and his police pension"

Huh???? Every public employee retirement system that I know about is able to have benefits continue on to a named beneficiary.

It will be officially referred to as “putting them to sleep.”

Funny you should say that because I’m barely generation X.

Instead of grabbing your ankles, you should start a movement to have all boomers declare where they stand on the abortion question. Then tell all those who are anti-life/pro-abortion...

“Sorry, you won’t be collecting any Social Security benefits because you were for killing off the 50 million+ Americans who would have lived and been paying into the system.”

Being able to continue his pension would be news to me. Then again, I’m not handling the finances.

military retirement doesn’t pay after death....unless you have the worthless SBP

“If your outflow is more than 35% your inflow, you can’t afford it.”

My mama raised me cautious. I would be nervous if 1/3 of my check (before or after taxes) went to mortgage.

“I’m 23. Combining this news story with the imminent election of a liberal (whether it be a Republican or a Democrat) I may as well just bend over and grab my ankles.”

I’ve said that since your age! 43 now~~~

I sorry for your loss as I lost my Father when I was 13. He paid into the system for 30 years (Professional) and 2 of us kids received SSDI until 18. The gov still made out.

"Federal officials in Florida are calling her "a trendsetter for her generation" since she decided to receive her benefits by direct deposit."

Let's hear it for low expectations!
...hoorah.
...or something.

For you X’rs.....just thought of this....My husband and I SAVE about 30% of our NET pay per year....and have been for a while....so that we won’t have to RELY on SS....now, granted, we haven’t had to put any children through college, so that helps....but, just so you know....YOU CAN DO IT (on one salary, too.)

I wish they’d direct deposit the $180,000 I’ve donated to S.S. and Medicare so far into my checking account. The lost compound interest would be a big plus too.

With that rule and a strong work ethic is your character, you will do well.

I’m a bit confused. I was born in 1960, and all my life I’ve been told I was post-baby boom. I’ve always heard the baby boom ended in the mid-fifties.

When did they extend the “baby-boom” to 1964???

You have plenty of time! Most 23 year olds I know have no clue where they are headed. (My little sis just graduated with CIS major and she has a good, stable job. You’ll be all set in a few years.)

Don’t forget to have fun and sample the chicks in your 20’s. Then when you get to the 30’s like me, you won’t feel like you missed out and you’ll know you have the best/right person.
