Retirees: How much money do you have in the bank?

[St. Phatty]

The other day I walked into the Dollar store and the checkout person said, "is there anything I can do to help you ?"

I said, "Sure, give me all the money in the cash register. That would help me".

Then I said, "sorry, that wasn't supposed to sound threatening. How about just $100 ? Would it sound less threatening if I say please ?"

Oh well, at least she didn't call the cops.

Like others have said, it's what you spend that counts. When I started equating money spent with the amount of my life I had to exchange to earn that money(plus taxes), it made it much easier to curb foolish expenditures....and the older I get, the more I value every day I have left. This time is mine, not an employer's.

My investments aren't large, but they are growing, while I live a simple, happy life.

You're kidding, right? Open your eyes. The debt is $28T and rising exponentially, and that is not counting entitlements like SS, medicare, and stimmy. Inflate or die.

Real facts? Look at how much gold a $100 will buy you these days compared to 100 years ago. The term "Good as a dollar" went out the gold window in 1971.

You better have a plan for when the money is no good, cause that is a very real possibility. How's that for fun?
