Pretty fucked up as I have paid a shitload into my whole life. Plus my wife. We could live pretty good on that and my measely pension alone. Not including 401ks and IRA's. At this point i wonder if SS or my pension will be there when I retire. Biggest ponzi scheme in the history of mankind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started this company with a partner about 10 years ago. I have a measly pension of about $1600 a month from the union coming to me when I retire. Its funded now but who knows in 12 years. I can actually collect on it at age 55 but I cant still be in the business (In any position) to qualify. Sorry mang...i dont keep a spreadsheet on everyone!! 1600 is not bad really.

You can live pretty fucking good on less than $2000 a month. Trying to send my parents there! You can live there no doubt. Pretty fucking good is a bit of a stretch. And once Trump is done with Mexico it will be as expensive as Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only because the disability lawyers and scammer faggots are looting it. This country would be in alot worse shape without it. I cant even name all of the seniors i know that would be fucked without it. Funny how people who dont want UHC cite stuff like death panels. Those would be a benefit.

Ive been planning retirement for a decade. I know what it costs to live in Mexico. $2000/month is an existance there. Seems like some of you guys want to retire then lay around and collect dust. What kind of existence is that. Not necessarily you Dave but a few others for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the lucky ones retirement has 3 phases. The gogo, the slow go and the no go. If youre lucky each phase lasts 10 years. The middle phase will be the cheapest.

Those would be a benefit. Lots of reasons but those who pay in max for long periods of time get absolutely fucked. If you got almost every dime of your SS with reasonable interest (and some deducted for disability insurance) guaranteed most could retire by 55 and have money to pass down to their kids. All them poor bastards that contribute all their life only to die pretty young. Its a fucked system if you ask me not to mention the goofy spouse rules.

My kids both have passports and have been out of the country and seen most of the US by now except Hawaii. (Scratched Alaska off the list this past June) But there is still alot of places I would like to go and bringing the kids is not very practical. Im kinda sad the middle east is the way it is because I have always wanted to see the alot of the historical places over there. And hopefully still can if they arent destroyed by then.

Wife's dad died about 5 years ago but honestly he wasnt a burden and didnt do anything. MIL lives with us and my mom has a house that constantly needs work. she has lots of health issues and cant do a whole lot. My dad is kinda losing his mind but I cant take him in because its not safe. All are poor and living off social security. Mom is the only one with a job still but it doesnt pay much. Im ready to push them all down the stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
