    Many many years ago I realized that there would be no social security by the time I retired. Lo and behold Social Security will only pay 70% of its dues 3 years before I retire.

    The good news is I’ve been saving for retirement since the age of 25. The bad news is there’s been a plethora of problems that have restricted my ability to save.

    Thankfully, I I’m in a way better place than most people. Unfortunately I am still going to fall short.

      Same…same. I’m a father of three, single income. I put away about $350 a month into a 401k for retirement. It’s not enough, but between housing, fixing things that break, health coverage, etc. it’s the best I can do.
