So those of us at 54 are screwed again. What a great country!

“So those of us at 54 are screwed again. What a great country!”

I ALREADY know that I’ll get ‘screwed’. I have a decent level of savings and a decent pension coming (assuming that Obama doesn’t crash the dollar first). I FULLY EXPECT that Social Security will soon become a Welfare Program with means testing, and I will lose.

But guess what - THAT IS FINE WITH ME. Sure, it means that my retirement house will be a bit smaller, and I may not travel overseas as much as I like - but THIS COUNTRY IS BROKE and the fact that I will lose everything I paid in is ok with me - since the country (collectively) decided spending my money was more important than saving it for me.

Story of my life too ... day late and a dollar short ...

Consider getting out of the rut. Rather than stay in the rut forever, find a way to transition to something else.

It is not required to “be” what you are forever. Consider “being” something different, perhaps even somewhere else.
