Well that's such a strong supportive mindset. Sometimes you can just help when you 'listen' to a situation and respond with a kind attempt. I've read other forums (not on this site) where people blast each other. What they hey? have nothing better to do than to make people feel like dung? I know that they are few and far between but as humans we tend to focus on the negative and one thing someone says can ruin their day or make it. I think we've found each other very supportive  |

Debtstinker...Thats the way people should be. We are not creating communities to blast each other. This is a force that can help many out of distress and support the members who need it.
For the people looking for some information on the retirement plans check this out http://www.ssa.gov/retire2/
DOnt forget to leave your ideas/views/comments on this. We can discuss a lot about retirement plans

Awwwwwwwwww, group hug, lol. just kidding. Hey I have to tell you that I am really enjoying the company here, you guys are awesome!
Debt stinker, You can act like your older and request information from organizations like aarp and such, just to get a look at whats going on at that age. They have tons of information.
I found a really good read on the mortgage forum too. You can get there from here, Hit the link up on top and then do a search for retirement. There is an great article there that deserves a print button. If you can't find it, let me know, I will find it and then pm the link to you. |

Hope this ok with the rules, I will pm you two this link also, Laura, you can access the home page from this link also. |

ok, Laura and Debtstinker, I pmed you guys the link, just in case it gets pulled from the post. Don't think it violates the rules but you never know.
There is some really good information there, this agency has a real good reputation and alot of older folks that I know use it for many reasons. I believe it is trustworthy. We are not old enough to use the services but we can use the advice they are giving. Goodluck guys, hope this helps. |

goodnatured...
That was a good article....site...whathave...
A rule of thumb that I try to go by is that I dont want to take in account for anyone/organization and/or government to rely on financing my retirement.
What I mean is that SS and pensions are slowly fading away... I am depending on my 401K, IRA and all my investments for the future... If I get SS and a measley pension.. GREAT!!! Just gravy for the tater's is my Dad used to say!!
Just My Humbled Opinion!! |

gravy for the tators, I like your sense of humor, you crack me up.
How true about not depending on others to plan your retirement, seems the ones with the bucks when they are older have been proactive and taken steps to be more prepared than others. |

Its required to be proactive. Who would want to live off their children at old age. So saving for future is the best thing to do. Great link good. Thanks a lot for the support.

| I think if we look at what is available for today we can be better planners, we sure can't predict the future. |

| hey we need it, on the east coast it's dreary and rainy so likin the sense of humor and really you're right! I read somewhere that instead of investing in your child's college fund (which you should if you can), first invest in you because your child will be off on their own, making a life for themself while we are approaching retirement. retirement comes quickly, so we have to prepare while we can |
