"Our Constitution was made only for a Moral and Religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the goverment of any other." John Adams 10/11/1798
I have a really bad feeling about where the market is going to go from here. And I'm trapped in the C Fund. It's so hard to watch thousands disappear from your retirement account everyday.
Should have just stayed in the G Fund. Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda.
Even my Roth is getting hammered.
Oh well, I was planning to work till I'm 70 anyway. I guess now I'll have too.
I'm right there with you. That's why I've been saying that I won't be retiring when I'm eligible in 2022. I can't afford it.
We're not alone. Go talk to some of the old timers at Lowes or Home Depot some time. A number of them were folks who retired and then discovered they couldn't afford retirement yet. Often because of health care costs.
At least we know now that we have to keep working so I'll keep my day job thank you. I'm hoping it will only be another 5 years but will have to see when I get there. If my track record keeps up like this I may be joining you in the 70 club.
