That is by far most moronic statement I have read in a long,loooooooong time. You win.:kaboom:
I live well below my means!
Watch the stock market and cling to your false hopes. Let me share some personal information. I'm a gov't employee in NJ. After the 9/11 attacks our 401K was decimated after the stock market took a beating. Our Public Employees Retirement Fund was invested over the past 20 years in exactly 3 so called 'conservative type mutual funds.' Our fund was wiped out to the point where our state legislature had to pass a law requiring non police or Fire personnel to contribute 5% of their income to the retirement fund to make up for the monstrous losses. We used to contribute 3% prior to 9/11. We have approximately 40,000 employees tied to this fund.
The point is simple. 401K plans are not immune to stock market collapses. WE nearly doubled our contribution because are 401K went into the tank. Does your employer invest your 'retirement' in (3) different mutual funds??? Some companies only do one. Talk about thye rool of the dice. The stock market is anything but a secure investment. History tells the story of the 1929 crash and those lessons have not been learned by today's generation of Americans. About 4 months ago, Wall Street 'quietly' announced that they had taken out a second hedge fund loan.
FordRacer...when you understand what hedge funds are and what frightening significance a 2nd hedge fund loan has...then you'll be qualified to discuss this matter further. Unlike you, I pay attention to economic trends and the recklessness of so many Americans who have no idea what they are doing in many respects to the way they invest on Wall Street! CDs are a safer investment!
Me too!
I live so far below my means that I am accused of looking like a bum.
I own two fully paid off houses in West Los Angeles near the beach. Appx three million in the stock market and other investments. A 39 unit apartment building.
But I only have three pairs of pants and half a dozen shirts.
But I do buy pretty much all the toys that I want, except for the Veyron.
I have no debts at all, nor do I have any dependents or living relatives.
Even I don't know why I am such a cheapskate.:shrug:
I think I'll go out tomorrow and order that Smith & Wesson Custom Shop Model 500 that I was considering. Spending money hurts, but recoil doesn't:banana:
Save!! Whats that?? Lol, I save enough to buy my next mods
Seriously though, we dont save much, but over the last year my mindset has changed alot. I dont know if we will ever save much, coming close to death you do realize the "you cant take it when you die" saying make's a lot of sense. So we live 1 day at a time, we do have property that if we were to sell (well once the market goes back up) we could easily live off since its paid off.
Its impressive to me how much some of you CAN save... I should would love to be able to put a good portion of my pay into a savings account, but all I can muster is my 401k with company match and the pension provided by the company. The rest is thrown to the bills and mortage. I was able to save much more prior to the house. Things change quickly after that with how often home expenses seem to come up.
