78% OF AMERICANS HAVE SAVED $50,000 OR LESS FOR RETIREMENT

[Cloutius Maximus]

nikkas keep thinking this world ain’t about to be on fire or underwater
Climate change is going to fukk us all if not the oligarchs finally pushing that button to crumble all this shyt
Retirement is not in the cards for us
If you have the means now
You better do it and enjoy your life
shyt ain’t sweet out here

regardless of how rough shyt gets, it will be even worse if you don't have resources or skills of some type. At least something you can barter/trade like food, gold/silver, good liqour, some rare comic books, etc

This whole economic house of cards is going to collapse worldwide .I got 170000 in my 401a because I work for the city but since I know during the great tribulation by the time i get to retire it will be useless.so I really don't care either way.

What great tribulation

But everyone I meet online and in real life makes over $100k and has multiple rental properties and businesses.

Something ain't adding up.

Is this a specific age based report?

Why would the avg 18-40 year old have that much considering the cost of living?

Actually I'm going to edit this shyt out. Come to think of it, this shyt was insensitive as hell. I don't know peoples struggles and maybe it is THAT hard out there for people.

I don't believe this article and, I'm sure it's not taking into account ASSETS. There's gotta be a decent amount of Gen-Xers, Millenials, etc (specifically cacs) about to inherit all type of property, worth 100s of thousands+. Do you recognize how much property these cacs own, across the US (rural, urban, burbs, etc)?

I call BS. They may not have a shyt ton of money saved, but Im sure they're not stressing cuz they know they'll be gifted houses, cars, CDs, valuables, collectibles, etc. And regardless of what media would lead you to believe, a sizeable amount of fbas (in concert with cacs), will acquire these assets as well at some point.

I haven't worked long enough to have $50,000 saved up in my 401k. I'll have $30k soon though

 

[Shadow King]

This is why when people keep talking bout "b bu but 60K is great money most places" because of stats and percentages, I ain't tryna hear it.

Most of the country is 3 checks away from the underpass.

put the max tax deductible I can in my 401k every year.

load up your 401Ks and IRAs every year brehs. shyt is not a joke. fukk a new whip, new house, etc.

Everyone doesn't have a choice...

People blaming the government yet again need to hold this L

Alot of people need to change their spending habits. Know so many dudes making six figures talking about buying $80k priced cars or some extravagant vacation just cause. The dumbest thing to do is to splurge on your money in your highest earning years

That doesn't speak for the majority of Americans out here as they aren't out here making six figures to be wasteful spending like that.

 

[Ahmen]

PPP, free health, education, child care to anyone that crosses the border, student loan absolution, reparations, $30/ hr burger servers, and guaranteed income has to be paid for.

Let's nationalize corporations, control prices and redistribute profits.

Everybody wins, right?

Dudes be living in their own bubble that isn't attached to the reality of the majority. Capitalist dreams, basically.

A janitor in Vermont built an $8M fortune without anyone around him knowing. These are the 3 simple techniques that made Ronald Read rich — and can do the same for you too

It's not rocket science ppl, u don't need to play the markets or be born with a silver spoon. It largely takes Discipline and time. I say this not to belittle but give some hope and inspiration.

This man was born in 1923. His prime years were the post-WW2 boom where wages were still far ahead of COL.

Not comparable to a roof over your head being 60% of your salary.
