Yea, I'm planning on no social security. If it's still there it's a bonus. I moved all my pension around right before the 08 market crash. I lucked out and quadrupled my pension in just few years. Everyone else I know lost everything, but the 1% made billions. They bought ford stock at $4 a share, year later it was up to $22. But only the rich can afford, everyone else gets fucked with no lube
I picked up some of those great deals in the '87 crash - but quadrupling my money in 6 months was only 12 grand
I jumped out and sold ahead of the '08 crash, but didn't jump back in to profit from the recovery.
If I were widowed instead of divorced, I'd have enough money left to retire well. Now I'm just retired.
If the pre-crash '08 boom would have lasted 4 more months, I'd have retired in '09.
Oh well - we just play the hand we are dealt. No do overs. Cheers
