    You have to take that into consideration in your planning. Don’t go full prepper but do diversify your holdings. That’s just basic anyway.

    I don’t expect to live long enough to retire. Any hope that I’d eventually be able to retire and enjoy life for a change went out the window in 2008 when the housing bubble popped.

      same here and my doctor confirmed it not too long ago; it’s a little bit freeing knowing that i don’t have to put any effort into planning from my elderly years.

    I really hate how we all lived through a whole dark age and three supposed end-of-days before 30. Can’t we get a break?

    I guess This is my fault team. I wished for 2012 to not be the end. Stupid monkey paw!
