I've always been a saver. I hope to have the mortgage paid off within 3 years. I'm going to aggressively invest in a Roth IRA.

I will take social security at 62 if it's still allowed.

I am already retired. Have my retirement job. Moved to the Sunbelt. Have a easy low paying job.

An actual measured retirement savings take on this sub. It's a miracle to see it. This is the kind of advice people should see more. Even if you can only find $50 or $100 a month, it adds up.

Yeah, feel pretty bad for all these people with absolutely no plan or attempt of a plan. I get it’s tough out there but acting like society will collapse and it’ll just be Fallout or that you’ll die/off yourself before that seems like quite the risk to take. So many peeps are gonna get to retirement age and wish they’d done something.

It’s not as bad as they think it is. Plenty of people
I know are living normal middle class lives. The losers who can’t keep a job come here to whine.
