@@lj2192 I didn’t expect a rate of return at all. Just the 25-30% supplement retirement income it was supposed to be. Social security was not created to be your sole income at retirement. There’s are reason why it’s called “social” security. I’ve done the rate of return on my end with my investments and savings of over two million for retirement and debt free. Didn’t even include social security and pension in my retirement planning. My $3200/mo. social security at FRA is just gravy with my other investments,savings,passive income,etc..and still completely debt free. Currently at 50 and retired my $2400/mo. pension is more than enough. You can either whine and complain or do the same.

No... the issue is a lot of people make really terrible financial choices. It's not any harder really. I did the math recently about what common things did cost when I was 18 & how much I made. I have all my financial records from 16. I'm a nerd. Basically I looked at percentage of income each thing took. And I looked at what wages are today for the same job. So if I was 18 again but today. The percentages are basically very similar. The conditions kids and your adults are seeing are practically the same. In some areas like utilities. My utility costs were nuts when I was 18. One of the apartments I was living in cost me roughly $400 in todays money to heat. It's insane. I have a house much larger than that apartment. My highest bill today might be $150.

330 Million inhabitants and a handful lucky people. Not all hard work pays off as millions in the bank. Most people simply aren't living the 'American dream', that doesn't make them stupid.

@bk1bennett 3 года назад

No, we have 330 Million inhabitants and a handful of people who truly get it. True, not all hard work pays off immediately as millions in the bank, but laziness, poor self-discipline, and ignorance will guarantee you have nothing in the bank. So take a chance on hard work, self-discipline, and education and you have unlimited opportunity regardless of "how smart" you are.

I used to think that as well, but what needed to change was us. We paid all our debt and worked the baby steps. We are debt free including the house now. We live beneath our means and live in a neighborhood that we can easily afford. Now life is less stressful. Somewhere along the way people just thought they deserved everything without having to pay for it. We get caught up trying to keep up with the Jones’s, but they are usually broke.
