+1 real, fabulous.

This is the biggest disaster involving a caddie since Stan insisted Sue Ellen Mischke try on that bra.

...and now, looking at 50 and with 30 years of around average household earnings and modest investing in my ROTH IRA and ROTH 401k I’m finally seeing the payoff- my investments have grown over time to finally be earning as much for me as my job does. Hamilton, it does work over a career’s worth of careful growth.

You have no idea how math works.

Its almost like Republicans have refused to adjust Social Security for inflation.

I find your self-righteous attitude stupid so I guess we are even. I’m all for helping people. I do it voluntarily. If I had more of my money available I would give even more. You are not a hero because you don’t mind the government wasting your money in a ponzi scheme.

Not really. It’s still apples-to-oranges. The question is what it pays for her home, not yours.

Since we lived in the same state, it certainly is apples to apples.

I want the control. I don’t trust companies to survive. I don’t trust the government not to screw it up. I would also like to pass the money on to my kids. That’s my biggest complaint with a pension.

Sorry, I forget you only want to read what fits in your little bubble. The Huffington Post is more your style then the comments section.

I did the math on this when I got my first SS statement and came to the same conclusion. If my SS money were simply in an IRA (not even Roth), it would be a ridiculous amount of money. I have been working since I was 15 and the amount I’ve paid in is painful to think about. When I ran the numbers, what I’ll get in SS…

If you take the cap of social security, you are just looking to redistribute the wealth. Most people will never get their money back as it is.

Everything about this is ridiculous.

Not for nothing, but I kinda wish all that money i’ve sunk into Social Security could have been routed to a roth IRA since i started working shitty jobs as a teenager, meh jobs as an early 20 something, and now decent job as i have a career as a 30 something. Playing catch up as a mid 30 something finally having…

“and you can tell if you’re speeding by looking outside”

1. People are being deported you mean. Which has been the case every single year regardless of who resides in the Oval Office. Amazing how the left just ignored this for eight years while Obama was in office.

We already don’t have net neutrality.

The constitution applies to the United States. It does not apply to everyone living in Iraq. The United States is well within its rights to ban travel from anywhere it wants to in the world. And I agree with you, Saudi Arabia should be on the list. But hey, that’s politics baby. Its the same reason why Nancy Pelosi…

What’s happened to them?

But what are “the bad things” that actually affect anyone?
