I love a good seared and braised beef rib.

I set a goal 30+ years ago that I would "retire" at 55. It's gonna happen.

Probably belongs in the NHL thread (is there one?), but how about this guy and how he's spending the off season?

Probably a couple of media appearances, some ribbing--and free drinks--from the locals, and a story that will live in family and local beer league lore.

We have snow in the forecast here tonight.

Meanwhile, the weather in Atlanta is, well, nicer.

Looking forward to being moved, but not the moving part very much.

crappy spring weather here so far

first season in the past 20 I haven't played golf in NW Iowa in the month of March

10-day forecast for 3 inches of snow Tuesday and only one day over 45 degrees, nothing over 50

oh well, spring football is here!

No better here in MSP for weather. 6-8" of snow through tomorrow, more snow later in the week, and no highs above freezing for another week. Happy Easter!

I know we have a pretty wide range of age groups here, but I also know there are plenty of 50+ people too.

Do you think you've done a good job saving and planning for retirement?

I've been reading up on things lately, and I've found that the average person does not have nearly enough saved up. That is kinda disturbing to me. I found this:


*********************************************************************************************

TransAmerica’s 2015 Annual Retirement Survey (based on 4500 online interviews) found that the median total household savings by age were as follows:
[th]Age[/th]
[th]Amount Saved[/th]
20s$16,000
30s$45,000
40s$63,000
50s$117,000
60s$172,000
If you look at things from the standpoint of their savings accounts, it is obvious that many will not have a large enough nest egg to even meet basic expenses (if they expect to live anywhere near 15 years after retirement). Many others will live close to the poverty line.
**********************************************************************************************


So now what?

It is a soon to be realized crisis for this country.  Evidence is quite convincing most folks not in a position to retire even at 75. 

It's imperative to sock away something, anything for retirement the moment you start earning.  Yes, easy to say this in the abstract when one doesn't face huge school debt.

I know way too many folks here in rural Iowa living on social security alone

It's not a great life.

I started saving after dropping out of college and getting a decent job.  I quadrupled my efforts after the divorce.  I'm going to be fine if nothing really drastic happens to the economy.

This is, again, very disturbing.

We don't need more crises in this country.
