As you can see from the thread, most FREEPERS don’t think it’s worthwhile saving for retirement. I wonder if they thought this in their twenties as well. I am surprised the negativity at these young people being smart with their money including your son.
Of course if the government just winds up taking the money from savers and giving it to the people who didn’t save, then maybe the savers really are the “suckers”.
Many Freepers—on a variety of threads—forget one of life’s most basic lessons.
“The perfect is the enemy of the good.”
Saving as much as you can is not perfect, but it is good.
Homeownership is not perfect, but it is good.
If you do lots of good (non-perfect) stuff you will probably live long and prosper.
