Aww yes, the retirement to dream of.

Don't do anything. Don't do house upkeep, repairs, or replace old equipment.

Especially don't have hobbies. Just sit in your home and die.

You really don't have a clue do you? I work with stock brokers and I'm literally telling you that I know people, lots of people, who had half a million twenty years ago, when they started retirement, and have three quarters of a million or more now. But nah! You go ahead and natter on about "upkeep", "repairs", and "old equipment".

So you work 'with' stock brokers? But you're not a stock broker, so easier to say you know other people successful with money, but you aren't yourself?

So they took the money they had and knew how to reallocate their investments into more money? Not something the average person is doing now is it? So you're saying they did their job....to make more money? Fascinating!

Continue to make generalized statements about doing solar and having it solve all your problems or getting a cell phone for $20 a month......ya ok....it's me out of touch. Who knew forecasting about actual realities and how life is still expensive after retiring is a crazy idea? Maybe people shouldn't save money for the years when they can't really work! Have you heard about the grasshopper and the ant?
