There's a retirement crisis in America where most will be unable to afford a 'solid life'

We will be put to sleep!

Think these "heart attacks" are natural???

Not only that but Donald Trump changed the laws where if you get sick and have medical bills that you can't pay, they can now take your house.

Trump said he would replace Obamacare but he lied and now millions of seniors are suffering and going homeless

I think we should begin the process of creating "End of Life" centers. After a certain age, if you're done you can take the red pill.

I don't think that is a true statement. Anyway, I guess he backed out of changing the ACA now.

Just look at the families around you. Do you think they will have enough to retire?

youre being disgusting to think such a thing

said the stupid 30 year old...


Soylent Green much?

The pursuit of money and material things does not give us a “solid” life.
When you die you take zero, nada, of your eartly physical possessions with you.
Social security used to be for the elderly who spent a lifetime of having money taken from them by the government who was supposed to “secure” the people’s money like a bank, until they became elderly. Go to your local SS office and you will be astounded by how few elderly you’ll see there! You won’t even see many Americans there, its like a foreign country!
The “crisis” is that the very one’s who promised to “secure” our money stole it!
How a country treats there youngest and oldest tells you how your country is doing. How your country treats its citizens versus foreigners tells you alot. We’re failing!

News nugget--this has been in place in my hospital district since Obama early days. I am in Volusia County Florida. In 2012 I talked to a nurse who said she would sell her home and rent before retirement, because Halifax Hospital, who already taxes us up the wazoo, was seizing houses right and left for unpaid medical bills.

Check your local hospital seizure leeway.

There's an old adage, "If you can't touch it you do not own it". Soon many will find that to be very true.

I always wonder how many of those complaining about retirement income have consistently saved for their own.

We need to completely remove Obamacare and keep government out of our healthcare. Biggest mistake people made

Yep, got nothing. My brilliance was cut short by my body having a mind of its own. Such is life.

indeed

Nature is cruel. We were meant to start pumping out kids by age 15 and dead by about 50. As long as we fulfill our genetic imperative, nature doesn't care.

I wonder... how do we afford to pay for all these 80 year olds who didn't save for retirement using social security when the replacement rate is getting so low? Something has to give eventually.

In a Nation full of resources, education and ability this should not happen.

US Citizens are being oppressed. Wealth taken from them by Central banks.

Yeah but add that retirement savings income to social security and you'll be sitting pretty with $2000 a month.

That was a joke, we probably need at least 3 times that to maintain any standard of living close to what we have now. Hopefully we will be able to do that but most people haven't prepared. It's tough to help kids out with outrageously expensive college costs at the same time you are looking to retire.

from what i've seen lately, if you get old and aren't in a lifetimes worth of debt due to "healthcare" bills, consider yourself one of the lucky ones.

Truth.

Homestead your house. It cannot then be taken.

Geezus. Do what I did: Take-in your mother, love her and care for her.

Geezus people...wake up. Nothing else matters, not your phukin vacation nor your fresh manicure.

The ONLY thing you take with you when you depart this dimension is the love you shared.

Don't you KNOW that?


.

Yep, or even if you saved like crazy and are well set up for retirement what good is it if your health sucks.
I have a relative that has probably a few million in retirement accounts and a small pension. His whole life was about preparing for retirement and then, two years after he retired he has a serious disease.
Life sucks and the you die.

I've heard that before, it's seems a very easy process too

And it goes by way too fast. There's something to be said for the impulsive people who spend every cent they have and live for today. They have kids young, life happens, and they just take it day by day. If you want to be "ready" for something in order to do it, you might not ever do it.

The less money you have, the less the system can take from you when the unexpected happens. The system does not really reward people for being responsible. In fact the opposite.. aside from blatantly breaking laws and ending up in jail, the system rewards irresponsible behavior.

Be really nice to your kids so you can live with them. Everybody is going to need help. We will see more people and families living together.

We're already asleep!

Agreed....definite correlation between making bad life decisions and a lousy retirement....when I look at my relative and immediate family, that is the case.....I started thinking about my retirement in my 20's.....ant and the grasshopper ......

I have 401k,IRA,Roth IRA,HSA and some mutual funds. I hope I could make enough money till my retirement in 30 years.

all too busy buying boats, cabins, SUV's, cell phones and not saving a dime for retirement!~~ I say f-ck them!! they made this mess, it's not my responsibility to bail them out!!
