You do realize that those that planned, many had their retirement funds wiped out with the financial crisis and stock market crashes of 2001 and 2008? If I were one of them I'd be in the "f*ck planning" club. You do realize how many lost their jobs, were unemployed for 2 or more years and now simply do not have the money to "put away" because they need every penny just to survive? You do know how many people lost their homes because of the criminal activity of the mortgage lenders? Not everyone is fortunate to be gainfully employed with a pension waiting for them - fortunate to have worked hard and bought a piece of real estate that by sheer luck turned out to be the best investment they'd ever make - fortunate enough to have had an inheritance that was able to offer them a step up, a savings account a home, whatever.
Thank you RG. Maximum RESPECT!
