I hope the 58 year old put some money away, instead of PISSING it away on fun stuff.
I'm 43, and have put 10 - 15% away since I was 18..............AND don't give me that GARBAGE that you cannot...........WHEN I started putting 15% away, it was when I was DELIVERING PIZZA........I still put it away.
I've got two kids, have eaten my share of tuna helper and SPAM, and still managed to put enough away to live comfortably when I retire.
What I don't have is:
* I don't have a $40,000 truck with a NOTE
* I don't have a $30,000 boat with a NOTE
* I don't have a $100,000 house with a NOTE
* I don't have a $50,000 equity line of credit MAXED out.
* I don't have a $10,000 dollar credit card MAXXED out.
* I don't have 10 store credit cards MAXXED out.
I've NEVER been on a cruise, or to Hawaii, or to Mexico, or to Europe, or out West, or about a BILLION other things I'd like to do..........
If I don't have cash in hand........I DON'T DO IT.
SO.................58 and BROKE...........NO FREAKIN EXCUSE.
Sorry, but PERSONAL responsibility is a lost idea on Americans today.
Later,
Geo
Wow I am impressed can you walk on water as well?
