The perfect Citizen, work hard your whole life, buy a house and have 2.3 children, pay your taxes, don't cause problems and die before you collect Social Security..
that pretty much sums it up, feed us poisoned food, poisoned are water, air. make sure you eat the veggies sprayed with various chemicals who no's what. Its bs eat drink smoke cannabis. Its all a crap shoot my last best friend expired at 50 yo. I'm 66, on jobs you name It, I been exposed to it. I even remember 2nd grade field trip to the atomic power plant, just one class ? what was that about ? we didn't know crap about splitting atoms. EXCEPT DUCK AND COVER I always laugh when I think about that. Enjoy life.
@@carolpeek7429 - I was being sarcastic. Many people in my family lived past 80. In fact, the age people live if they make it past 60 years old is 82. But unfortunately, many posters on this board want to believe what they want to believe, so they retire as soon as they can. Many seniors are broke. That's no way to "retire".
@@carolpeek7429 - The average SS check is only $1800. The average savings of retirees according to Fidelity is only $114K. If you're living until 82, that only going to give a person about $2800 per month to live on. For those who say, "retire early because life isn't guaranteed" had better have at least a half a million in investments or they will run out of money at 75. I predict that 65 to 67 will be the sweet spot age to retire in the future.
@@molassescricket6663 I had cash stolen from my pockets on a couple of occasions and then come the bills in the mail. In the hospital they hide your shoes so that you can't leave - yep, happened to me.
The amount of money people are getting in their Social Security is a hell of a lot more than they ever contributed, and that’s why Social Security is unsustainable. People may have earned their leisure but the governments having to pick up the tab. you look at how much they took out of your check for Social Security and Medicare and how much people are withdrawing from Medicare and Social Security like I said before it’s just not sustainable and the government knows it.
@@mkm44 then why did the clowns just send another 160 billion to other countries for they can live the good life and I know this after working 45 years paying into SS every week plus what the government got in interest I will never get back what I paid into it but thats ok I don't mind other old Americans getting some of it its its a whole hell of a lot better than sending it to other countries for they can live the good life.
I had very little faith in our government, now I have none. I had four family members, who passed away because of accident or illness, before they could collect social security. One of my nieces was able to collect on her father's social security when he died, until she was 18. I came to realize that all of the extra money left from people who die before they collect, sure as hell, is not being put back towards social security. Our government is reassigning that money and wasting it on their own personal greed.
you misunderstand the way SS works. We were all told it was a 'retirement fund' for us and what we put in is what we are entitled to.. but that is a big lie. The way it works is Socialism. the people working are paying for those that are not working, whether it is Social Security, Disability or welfare. There are no 'retirement' accounts reinvesting your money to give you a retirement. It's all a lie. they set it up that way, then lied to us because in America if you say 'socialism' everyone gets their panties in a bunch and everything that follows is a mess. YEs it pisses me off that this is what they did but it does not change the facts.
My Dad totally screwed them over. He lived to 95 and had 40 years of wonderful retirement.......He was only in the hospital a week then slipped away in his sleep.....
That's the way to do it ❤I live in the UK I am 60 in October this yr and my retirement date is on my 67 yr birthday and then they might raise it to 68 soon I hope I live as long and as happy as your farther
dont know if that is true or not but many friends took the shots and many are getting sick over and over my hubby said guys at work are getting covid over and over he did not say if they had the shots but I bet they did, my friends and I and my hubby did not take anything and we have been doing very fine.
Live longer then get blamed for putting pressure on social services and being told you're responsible for young people not being able to get on the property ladder.
It is important to understand that a majority of people out there have been trained from birth including me to spend and consume. To follow the approved vision of what life is supposed to be. Spend, consume, put it on a credit card, buy new cars, get a 30 year mortgage, pay monthly utility bills, keep up the neighbors, fall for product commercials and work your ass off to keep up. People need to wake up and realize if you remove yourself from the system, think outside the box of what a house looks like, how it's insulated, look at technologies like thermal heating/cooling, install a mini-hydro turbine to generate your own power, control impulse buying, buy land rather than live in some rat maze subdivision, grow your own food, produce your own energy, you will live a much happier life, actually accomplish things and realize you don't need near as much money as you do living in the system. The system is designed to entice people to spend and consume.
Left the taxation plantation at 50. I barely work now because my eyes opened to the destruction of the middle class and trans see of wealth during Covid.
People should be mad as hecc, when you see how long politicians live. Yet, I know guys that were still working, and just passed away, made just enough money to pay for a funeral. The system is cold, never forget.
I retired at 60 and I've collected social security and a private pension for the last 16 years. I'm dedicating myself to good health and contentment. My parents lived up into their late 90s. I hope to surpasse that!
I have a thought to share with you. My father retired at age 59. He has what I call a "Cadillac" insurance plan. He is now 81 years old. When he was younger and frequently going to the doctor, his insurance plan would throw a king's ransom at any pharmaceutical that a doctor would throw at him. Now that the pharmaceuticals have made him sick, and he needs more health care as a result, the insurance company is getting a lot stingier with dolling out money. It occurred to me. They want him dead. And the sooner he dies the better, at least to them. This system is designed to kill you. Good video.
Agree with you. Same thing happened to my mother. In 2019 she had a flu shot. Two days later she was dead. She did go to hospital complaining of chest pains and doctor said he found nothing and was set to release her. She was 91 and I believe they had no intention of putting another dime in her. I fear ever having to go to doctors and hospitals. BEWARE!!!!
nothing kills you quicker than allopathic care especially since it is for profit. it is another scam so is insurance the moment you make a law that you have to have it is when it gets expensive and no one can afford care except the super rich. insurance keep it voluntary and watch prices go down or they go out of business insurance raises the costs because those on the receiving end will be able to raise the prices of goods services etc, that competition itself or free market itself would of been half the price.
Here in the U K our un elected P M is trying to increase retirement age to 75 years old and then trying to get you out of your cars because they think your to old to drive .
Yeah, one hears "Organic food costs too much." Not really, if you figure you're ducking the deliberately tainted food and into the medical and pharmacidicals and would likely live longer as a result. Food is medicine, you-all.
also not all food has to be organic to have the same health and eating less is healthier and no one should have a gym membership as it is healthier to do very mild exercise such as no-cost bodyweight exercises and fast walking
Deferred gratification is working your butt of your entire life, dreaming of doing all kinds of fun leisurely activities when you retire, and like so many, by the time they do retire, their health is failing and they can't realize those dreams they put off: A Stolen Life. Truly Tragic.
We live what we learn, We are a product of our environment, Some get the bigger picture, most don't, the system is always about Power, Greed & Control, be smarter than the system commercial!
The thought of retirement makes me cry. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you weren't to blame for.it's especially difficult for people who are retired.
True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.
I fully agree and place great value on my advisor's role in guiding my daily investments. They excel in both long and short strategies, managing risk for potential gains and protection against market downturns. Their access to exclusive insights and in-depth analysis makes exceeding expectations a regular outcome. In the two-plus years I've worked with my advisor, I've gained over 1.2million dollars.
"Gertrude Margaret Quinto" is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment
@@woodman1701 Yes. If most adults took up smoking again and died 8 years earlier than non smokers that would help the Social Security system. Your favorite insurance actuary nerd can confirm this.
Most of the "problems" in any society lead back to one entity...government. We are living the problems the founding fathers anticipated 200+ years ago.
The government isnt in control. Corporations and especially The banks, the oil industry and military industrial complex runs our lives. They aren't elected but they run America and own the politicians
Centralized powers of any society ultimately lead to corruption and collapse. Humanity needs to go back to small local living and leave big government behind.
I saw this coming and decided to get out as soon as I could. Broke and divorced at 50 and out of the tech world. I ended up in trucking and saving almost every I made while living on the truck. I retired at 62 with a Filipina wife and paid off (small) home in the Philippines. I had enough of the greed, corruption and loss of freedom in the US. I come to the US for friends and family but I'm not seeing a future here with the runaway inflation, adulterated food and a crumbling society.
It may not matter what others want......what matters is what you want. I am retired.....and the seniors I deal with.....don't take responsibility for their health. They accept that "going downhill" slowly - the "slippery slope" is their end. Walking? forget it. A married woman.....told me that her husband does not leave the house. Prescription for disaster.
In UK retirement age is 70 and they want to put it up to 75 except there's an issue they didn't think of , people checking out of the workforce altogether rather than pay for something they know they wont ever get. There's 40 year olds living with their parent working one day a week for their minimum spend and not worried about savings because it will just get inflated away . Its a mass spiritual awakening . Eventually , I think it will be a revolution because the state will try to go for slave / work camps /imprisonment but the cats out the bag now and aint gonna go back in.
Gain awareness of the wealth transfer from working people to the “connected-protected-ruling” class. Taxes, debt, rents, wars, administrative laws, drugs, higher education, healthcare, housing, inflation, etc. Awareness buys you time, time buys you options - until it doesn’t. Be awake, aware, and prepared. Don’t get played.
Productive? as if we have an obligation? No. I've given, as most have, more into the system than the system has given me. I don't owe you all ANYTHING!, as most of the rest of us. Actually, where did the idea originate that we have an obligation to earn as much as possible in order to pay into the system as much as possible?
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life
Thanks for the advice! I'm new to financial planning and wasn't sure where to start. Any tips on finding a reliable financial adviser or resource to guide beginners?
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor that is verified by finra and SEC to keep you accountable. I'm guided by a widely known financial consultant Stacey Macken
Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 12 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life
YES! that's exactly her name (Stacey Macken) I watched her interview on CNN News and so many people recommended her trading skills, she's an expert and I'm just starting with her....From Brisbane Australia
Some good points to ponder here. I’m retired now. Escaped from CA in 2020. Became eligible for Medicare in 2022. By now I have made the rounds to all the different kinds of doctors they have wanted me to see. I could never afford health care when living in CA, so I managed to get by with the occasional trip to the Chiropractor. Making the rounds to all the Drs has done nothing but cause me to worry more about my health. So, I have quit! Starting to feel better now thank you. I’ll keep paying into the Medicare, but will consider it as only an emergency thing, like in case I go out and buy another motorcycle and wind up wrapping myself around a telephone pole or something. How long will I live, happily? As long as I want to, as far as I’m concerned.
I’m getting close to age 66 and still working, still saving. Now I’m waiting for the big cosmic joke hit. Health crisis? Cyber scam? Stock market crash? Social Security miscalculated my benefit? Why not all four.
My dad is 80, he is a gas compressor mechanic in Wyoming. He is retiring at the end of the month. He tried retirement at 72 and hated it. My father-in-law is 84 and runs his 15,000 acre ranch and gets around like a. 40 year old. They are both healthy and happy. My mother and stepdad are 77 and 82 and have been retired for years. They are very unhealthy, ill, and sedentary. Thank you, I’ll work until I die if I can. Moving and purpose keeps us alive.
Moving is important, you don’t need a job, I go out every day to a park and walk and I love it, that’s my purpose. Retired at 64 , glad I’m out of cooperate America. I feel free and May look to volunteer somewhere.
@@geddon436thank you, same here, and im not lazy or stupid, al these jobs suck, I spent years supporting the economy, we all got and are getting screwed.
The responsible approach would be to prepare mentally, physically, financially, and spiritually for yourself and family, while attempting to avoid all government, medical, and financial entities. You will have no regrets because you are prepared, and your correct priorities will give comfort.
Worked part time starting at 13 in a bowling alley. Moved up to packing bags at 16 in grocery store. Worked full time right out of grade twelve. Retired at age 56, right away took Canada pension then plus union pension. Old age pension added at 65. Canadian and loving life, hating current government, in my 70’s. Unvacced and on one simple med only. My doctors office walls are covered in adverts from the gov and pharma, but my doctor respects my choices. My advice.. enjoy life, tough it out if you are ill, go for walks, enjoy a drink and friends and don’t take meds.
So what if you work until 85... My great grandmother harvested apples in our orchard until cataracts stopped her at 92. My great grandfather was a carpenter with no electric tools. He worked until age 96. Working keeps you fit and helps you enjoy life more as a retiree. Most people die because they sit all day and eat or drink. They get bored and give in. The best thing is that as a retiree you can choose what you do and only do what you enjoy.
Retirees have collected lots of resources. Eventually, it all goes back into the economy. ALL of it. Certainly not a net negative. Retiree is the cash cow. But yes, the sooner they can get your accumulated resources, the better (for them). Once you retire, watch your back, right?
Then why the hell do we have to pay into social security and Medicare ? People forget we paid for what we are getting . In all honesty with inflation, that money would have done a lot more and went a lot further when I was paying into it than it does now .
The government does nothing beneficial for mankind. They enslave, control and manipulate and LIE, LIE, LIE and we keep voting, voting and voting continuing their power over us. INSANE, INSANE, INSANE!
I'm old enough to recall when they said that email and computers would give us a shorter working week and more leisure time - a better life. What a lie. I wasn't incarnated into whatever this miracle is to be a productive obedient worker unit.
About 80% of Americans are paycheck to paycheck. Meaning an individual or family’s income barely covers essential living expenses like housing, utilities, groceries and transportation. This doesn't include credit card debt, auto/home/student loans, medical debt, and the cost of raising children. The only real solutions are track your spending, budget, downsize whatever you can house/car/subscriptions/groceries, cook your own food,.. generally cut any expenses you can and get debt free.
Maybe instead of looking for something new, we should look at worked in the past , and go back on a gold standard instead of inflating away the savings people have worked for
I lost over $70k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Karen Cosmann.
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn’t know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, i'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills
My parents are very simple people. They are not the healthiest. They have been retired now for 18 years. It depends on the person. Collected SS at 62 (which I didn’t agree with). They are doing ok.
My father beat the system. He worked for 30 years teaching in the City of Boston. He was awarded an extra 5 years if he retired immediately making his tenure 35 years.. My father worked for 30 years and has been retired for 31 this year. Democrats have been paying my father more years than he actually worked. My father is 90 years old and I would love to see him reach 100. I wanted to post something happy and positive. GOD Bless!
My health care up in Alberta, Canada. Because My body pounded the shit out its self from trucking 30 years. I took early retirement at 60. I was offered MAID at 62. I said no as I have alot of life in me + two grand kids to boot. Yes I can't do alot of walking far but I am a diabetic and I have trouble walking far. So with out me knowing how much the medical agency they push hard to want me on this MAID program. This just sucks.
You're comment got me very curious ( by the way I farm in Alberta and do have my class 1 which I have only been using to haul our own grain ) as can you explain how the medical establishment approached you about MAID and what their reasoning was to murder you .. essentially. Was this a doctor treating you suggesting this or do they have a key staff member in a hospital setting that's job is to pounce on anyone they see as a case of ( and do not take offence to this wording ) "A Useless Eater" meaning anyone that isn't slaving their butt off working to pay taxes.
Great video! I wanted to mention that those of us over 60 years old commit few crimes than our counterparts (generally speaking). This adds value to society.
The era of the millionaires was better for the working class. This recent era of the billionaires not so good, less to go around due to a few individuals hoarding the velocity of money.
Because it’s a prison planet run by the remnants of the Brotherhood of the Serpent for immortal spiritual beings, trapped in a cycle of soul amnesia traps and bioengineered “physical” bodies. Enter the “light” to rejoin the prison. Lao Tzu showed us the key.
In the uk when they Decided on the pension 65 Age and the life Expectancy was 67 is what they had worked out 😢 you were only Supposed to live for 2 Year's 😢
Am 58 retiring next year but the thought of retirement gives me weakness. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you never imagined to happen. It’s so difficult for people who are retired and have no savings or loved ones to fall back on.

Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect my funds and make profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $250k since then.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Colleen Rose Mccaffery” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
The new retirement age proposal in Canada is 72……eventually and quietly the government will change this.I scrimped and saved and invested and went without thinking to take an early retirement at 55….. I will add an additional 10 years so I can help my son get started in life. It’s a uneven road we are on.
Makes sense, it's the same reason why the homeless problem keeps getting worse. In the politicians eyes, they're not contributing to the tax kitty, so investing in displaced people with tax dollars doesn't seem like a good investment to them. The united states has a tax monster that keeps getting bigger and bigger, retired people may have savings or investments, but all are drawing social security, which is a bit of a pyramid scheme in a sense as the working class paying into it now, may not see the benefits later.
Most of our problems are self made, with, of course, exceptions. Eat bad, bad health, addictions, get in debt instead of saving to buy, marriage only works well for a few, kids we don't say no to, jobs we hate because we don't prepare for options. Sad, but true. Care and take care of yourself.
Just one thing to be noted. He mentions if you work till you even older. Your health issues do increase as you get older. Yes there’s other factors also but not everybody’s going to be able to work until they are 70 or 75 especially if you have a more heavy physical job. I have seen many jobs that are rough and when you’re younger you might be able to do but as the years go by they run you into the ground literally. Not everyone can do these jobs into their later years. There is people who are forced into nursing homes because they are no longer able to live independently and have no choice because of their health conditions. I’m sure the government would like to not have to pay as many benefits out any longer than they have to. They are the ones who have mismanaged and poorly managed the finances of the system. The rest of the system especially the healthcare will bleed you dry while doing a crap job of treating the symptoms and not the causes while the insurance companies play dictators of what they allow the healthcare system to do in order to keep you alive or in the best level of life. Anyway this was a good video that was presented very well. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My parents both spent same number of years in the civil service, but my mom was investing through a wealth manager, and my dad through the 401k.
I retired in 2006 after 28 years in the job. That was 18 years ago. My goal is to live long enough that I will have been collecting my pension for longer than I actually worked at the job. Stop eating processed food and seed oils. Sugar and carbs are toxic. Exercise every day and maintain social and family relationships.
Love Big Sur ❗️Drove the road to glory on a clear day over the mountains to the military bace make a wonderful memory. Like your Thanking 76 and enjoying one bonus day at a time . 🌅
Now men in the United States aged 65 can expect to live 17 more years on average. Women aged 65 years can expect to live around 19.7 more years on average. As of 2021, the average life expectancy at birth in the United States was 76.33 years.Dec 12, 2023
Why tell the truth? True, once you make it to 62, your average lifespan is past 80. But people don't want to hear that. They want an excuse to be lazy and retire. I'm all for retiring. But not until you're financially set. Living poor in retirement, isn't retirement at all.
Thumbs up. I don't even have to listen to all of it to know what's up. Consumer spending and thusly the whole economy are driven by the *GOTTA HAVE IT. . . NOW . . . CULTURE.* That means mostly younger folks many of whom know they have to work hard to get whatever it is they want. Older folks either already have what they went after. Or like me they simply don't care to bust hump for things that don't really matter to them anymore. Did i nail it ?????????? I think so. And society just doesn't need, doesn't want, and doesn't like smart oldsters who will not cooperate fully with all modern trends. And if you think society isn't smart enough to figure out which ones aren't toeing the party line. Think again. George Orwell's *1984* is among us in full force. Call it (1) a Zeitgeist (2) group instinct (3) herd mentality or god forbid (4) Satan. Don't believe ????? I understand completely. But when the shyt hits the fans there will be a lot more believers in the trenches. It's happened before. And it will happen again.
your health is your responsibility - it's not the government's responsibility, or the food companies, or anyone else. I figured out longevity so it can be done.
Charlie - True, but people will hate you for telling the truth. They want the government to feel them healthy food, workout for them and watch their weight while giving them drugs to regulate their issues. Afterall, it's easier to take a pill , than exercise 90 minutes everyday. They can't say NO to a Big Mac meal.
It's all up to you. Don't blame anyone else for your decisions in life. If you did not save and invest enough to live well (in retirement) when you were working then that's on you!
If you’re living in California then YES! You are correct. Your state is down for the count. What you are saying is not true for everyone in every state. If you haven’t eaten processed cruddy food all your life and took care of your body and mind you will not be in the situation you’ve described. I’m semi retired at 61 , and enjoying life to the fullest and only on one medication which is only temporary. Living in California with that miserable corrupt governor, you’re screwed man
My elderly mother always said that a doctor ignores old people’s complaints because the sooner they die the sooner you get off of SS and Medicare, in the US.
My father in law retired at 68 this past year. He is now diagnosed with with Parkinson's and pulmonary fibrosus. He worked his but off his entire life, never drank or smoked, worked out regularly, looked 10 years younger than he was. Anything can happen.....
I retired 17 years ago. I try to eat healthy, but I have had numerous surgeries since then. Over a million dollars in medical expenses on the Medicare dime! I'm grateful to have been treated well by the medical community. However, it's a struggle to just keep a quality of productive life as I advance in age. I know I'm costing our health care system an enormous amount of capital just to function. It's all about the money that our medical community is making off Medicare, and it's just a business. Every physician I have requires more and more duplicate testing to the point of redundancy. They request procedure that seem unnecessary. I worked in health care, and I know our Medicare system is being taken advantage of. We are simply sqeezing blood out of every senior citizen to keep the revenue coming in.
Folks, work to set yourself up for as a comfortable life as possible. No one is expected to live forever. I have been working since I was 14, stopped working before I was 62, now drawing social security. I love not working anymore. My financial freedom and financially means a lot to me. I wanted to stop working at 45, but had to build that work portfolio in order to live a reasonably comfortable lifestyle.
I just turned 41 and awfully late to investing with barely any portfolio except my 401k, I have a decent amount of cash saved up and with inflation currently soaring AGAIN, I’m getting worried about retirement, my intention is to retire at 65 atleast, so how best do I maximize my savings of over $500k
Everyone’s been preaching investing lately as a source of passive income but with a 70 hour weekly jobs and limited knowledge of financial instruments, how can I actually stay on top of things, I see every TH-cam video saying BUY BUY! But when and how do I sell for profit at the right time?
is it really worth investing in stocks in 2024, I’ve been on the sidelines watching the market for awhile and it seems to be pretty stagnant to me not that it matters because I’m in it for the long run, but how can one generate actual profit in this current market?
The perfect Citizen, work hard your whole life, buy a house and have 2.3 children, pay your taxes, don't cause problems and die before you collect Social Security..
That a bot
But ..... before you die you give all your money to the medical industrial complex (so that your kids get nothing).
Please don’t steal, government doesn’t like competition !! so security is a pyramid scheme run by the government

Retire as quick as you can. Don't worry about paying more and working longer. Life is short.
I agree. Never believe it when people tell you their parents lived until their 90s. Nobody lives that long. It's a conspriracy.

That means living a healthy lifestyle too. People seem to think unhealthy habits are rebellious, but it's actually the opposite.
Retired people have earned their leisure
What if they worked in HR?
The amount of money people are getting in their Social Security is a hell of a lot more than they ever contributed, and that’s why Social Security is unsustainable. People may have earned their leisure but the governments having to pick up the tab. you look at how much they took out of your check for Social Security and Medicare and how much people are withdrawing from Medicare and Social Security like I said before it’s just not sustainable and the government knows it.
@@mkm44 then why did the clowns just send another 160 billion to other countries for they can live the good life and I know this after working 45 years paying into SS every week plus what the government got in interest I will never get back what I paid into it but thats ok I don't mind other old Americans getting some of it its its a whole hell of a lot better than sending it to other countries for they can live the good life.
@@mkm44it's all the bogus disability claims that's bankrupting the system.
Shared I have been retired for a long time work hard save invest and do not feed the industrial complex they do not care about us
I had very little faith in our government, now I have none. I had four family members, who passed away because of accident or illness, before they could collect social security. One of my nieces was able to collect on her father's social security when he died, until she was 18. I came to realize that all of the extra money left from people who die before they collect, sure as hell, is not being put back towards social security. Our government is reassigning that money and wasting it on their own personal greed.
you misunderstand the way SS works. We were all told it was a 'retirement fund' for us and what we put in is what we are entitled to.. but that is a big lie. The way it works is Socialism. the people working are paying for those that are not working, whether it is Social Security, Disability or welfare. There are no 'retirement' accounts reinvesting your money to give you a retirement. It's all a lie. they set it up that way, then lied to us because in America if you say 'socialism' everyone gets their panties in a bunch and everything that follows is a mess. YEs it pisses me off that this is what they did but it does not change the facts.
My wife has collected SS disability benefits for 40 years. She is “retired” now and collecting benefits off of my earnings
Banks r the rulers and feeding from them feeds it
My Dad totally screwed them over. He lived to 95 and had 40 years of wonderful retirement.......He was only in the hospital a week then slipped away in his sleep.....

It is important to understand that a majority of people out there have been trained from birth including me to spend and consume. To follow the approved vision of what life is supposed to be. Spend, consume, put it on a credit card, buy new cars, get a 30 year mortgage, pay monthly utility bills, keep up the neighbors, fall for product commercials and work your ass off to keep up. People need to wake up and realize if you remove yourself from the system, think outside the box of what a house looks like, how it's insulated, look at technologies like thermal heating/cooling, install a mini-hydro turbine to generate your own power, control impulse buying, buy land rather than live in some rat maze subdivision, grow your own food, produce your own energy, you will live a much happier life, actually accomplish things and realize you don't need near as much money as you do living in the system. The system is designed to entice people to spend and consume.

I retired at 60 and I've collected social security and a private pension for the last 16 years. I'm dedicating myself to good health and contentment. My parents lived up into their late 90s. I hope to surpasse that!
Yessss Congrats 🎉
Lol I live in the UK and taken up dangerous sports and heavy smoking , Im 52 and would not like to be a 60 year old in this shithole.
How you retired at 60 if is at 62 ?
I have a thought to share with you. My father retired at age 59. He has what I call a "Cadillac" insurance plan. He is now 81 years old. When he was younger and frequently going to the doctor, his insurance plan would throw a king's ransom at any pharmaceutical that a doctor would throw at him. Now that the pharmaceuticals have made him sick, and he needs more health care as a result, the insurance company is getting a lot stingier with dolling out money. It occurred to me. They want him dead. And the sooner he dies the better, at least to them. This system is designed to kill you. Good video.
Agree with you. Same thing happened to my mother. In 2019 she had a flu shot. Two days later she was dead. She did go to hospital complaining of chest pains and doctor said he found nothing and was set to release her. She was 91 and I believe they had no intention of putting another dime in her. I fear ever having to go to doctors and hospitals. BEWARE!!!!
nothing kills you quicker than allopathic care especially since it is for profit. it is another scam so is insurance the moment you make a law that you have to have it is when it gets expensive and no one can afford care except the super rich. insurance keep it voluntary and watch prices go down or they go out of business insurance raises the costs because those on the receiving end will be able to raise the prices of goods services etc, that competition itself or free market itself would of been half the price.
Here in the U K our un elected P M is trying to increase retirement age to 75 years old and then trying to get you out of your cars because they think your to old to drive .

Yeah, one hears "Organic food costs too much." Not really, if you figure you're ducking the deliberately tainted food and into the medical and pharmacidicals and would likely live longer as a result. Food is medicine, you-all.
Yep. Someone said it: Let food be your medicine.
also not all food has to be organic to have the same health and eating less is healthier and no one should have a gym membership as it is healthier to do very mild exercise such as no-cost bodyweight exercises and fast walking
People are born liars - don't believe those food labels - they only have to meet a "legal" definition.
Organic food is a hoax.
You’ll see.
Everything has poison in it now
Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food.....grow your groceries.
Deferred gratification is working your butt of your entire life, dreaming of doing all kinds of fun leisurely activities when you retire, and like so many, by the time they do retire, their health is failing and they can't realize those dreams they put off: A Stolen Life. Truly Tragic.

The thought of retirement makes me cry. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you weren't to blame for.it's especially difficult for people who are retired.
True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.
I fully agree and place great value on my advisor's role in guiding my daily investments. They excel in both long and short strategies, managing risk for potential gains and protection against market downturns. Their access to exclusive insights and in-depth analysis makes exceeding expectations a regular outcome. In the two-plus years I've worked with my advisor, I've gained over 1.2million dollars.
@@emmaarmandowho is your advisor please, if you don't mind me asking?
"Gertrude Margaret Quinto" is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment
I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an email shortly.
In a similar light, when the general population quit smoking the Social Security system became badly drained by people living a lot longer.
Ask bill Clinton what happen to our SSI
So in effect, if everyone starts smoking again then Social Security might become solvent?
@@woodman1701 Yes. If most adults took up smoking again and died 8 years earlier than non smokers that would help the Social Security system. Your favorite insurance actuary nerd can confirm this.

Most of the "problems" in any society lead back to one entity...government. We are living the problems the founding fathers anticipated 200+ years ago.
"Government" has all that power because all your friends and neighbors (and the public) enforce the rules.
The government isnt in control. Corporations and especially The banks, the oil industry and military industrial complex runs our lives. They aren't elected but they run America and own the politicians
Centralized powers of any society ultimately lead to corruption and collapse. Humanity needs to go back to small local living and leave big government behind.
I saw this coming and decided to get out as soon as I could. Broke and divorced at 50 and out of the tech world. I ended up in trucking and saving almost every I made while living on the truck. I retired at 62 with a Filipina wife and paid off (small) home in the Philippines. I had enough of the greed, corruption and loss of freedom in the US. I come to the US for friends and family but I'm not seeing a future here with the runaway inflation, adulterated food and a crumbling society.
Work longer…..
Keep sending money to the financial advisor longer…
Wall Street loves you!
I will send my money to the VTI Vanguard ETF.
It may not matter what others want......what matters is what you want. I am retired.....and the seniors I deal with.....don't take responsibility for their health. They accept that "going downhill" slowly - the "slippery slope" is their end. Walking? forget it. A married woman.....told me that her husband does not leave the house. Prescription for disaster.
In UK retirement age is 70 and they want to put it up to 75 except there's an issue they didn't think of , people checking out of the workforce altogether rather than pay for something they know they wont ever get. There's 40 year olds living with their parent working one day a week for their minimum spend and not worried about savings because it will just get inflated away . Its a mass spiritual awakening . Eventually , I think it will be a revolution because the state will try to go for slave / work camps /imprisonment but the cats out the bag now and aint gonna go back in.
Retired people add immeasurable value to society. What has happened to this world is sickening.

Gain awareness of the wealth transfer from working people to the “connected-protected-ruling” class. Taxes, debt, rents, wars, administrative laws, drugs, higher education, healthcare, housing, inflation, etc. Awareness buys you time, time buys you options - until it doesn’t. Be awake, aware, and prepared. Don’t get played.
Yes all of that is a growing and more sophisticated and deeper money grab. Period.

No.

Some good points to ponder here. I’m retired now. Escaped from CA in 2020. Became eligible for Medicare in 2022. By now I have made the rounds to all the different kinds of doctors they have wanted me to see. I could never afford health care when living in CA, so I managed to get by with the occasional trip to the Chiropractor. Making the rounds to all the Drs has done nothing but cause me to worry more about my health. So, I have quit! Starting to feel better now thank you. I’ll keep paying into the Medicare, but will consider it as only an emergency thing, like in case I go out and buy another motorcycle and wind up wrapping myself around a telephone pole or something. How long will I live, happily? As long as I want to, as far as I’m concerned.
I’m getting close to age 66 and still working, still saving. Now I’m waiting for the big cosmic joke hit. Health crisis? Cyber scam? Stock market crash? Social Security miscalculated my benefit? Why not all four.

So what if you work until 85... My great grandmother harvested apples in our orchard until cataracts stopped her at 92. My great grandfather was a carpenter with no electric tools. He worked until age 96. Working keeps you fit and helps you enjoy life more as a retiree. Most people die because they sit all day and eat or drink. They get bored and give in. The best thing is that as a retiree you can choose what you do and only do what you enjoy.
Retirees have collected lots of resources. Eventually, it all goes back into the economy. ALL of it. Certainly not a net negative. Retiree is the cash cow. But yes, the sooner they can get your accumulated resources, the better (for them). Once you retire, watch your back, right?
Totally agree

About 80% of Americans are paycheck to paycheck. Meaning an individual or family’s income barely covers essential living expenses like housing, utilities, groceries and transportation. This doesn't include credit card debt, auto/home/student loans, medical debt, and the cost of raising children. The only real solutions are track your spending, budget, downsize whatever you can house/car/subscriptions/groceries, cook your own food,.. generally cut any expenses you can and get debt free.
Maybe instead of looking for something new, we should look at worked in the past , and go back on a gold standard instead of inflating away the savings people have worked for
I lost over $70k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible.

It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Karen Cosmann.

My health care up in Alberta, Canada. Because My body pounded the shit out its self from trucking 30 years. I took early retirement at 60. I was offered MAID at 62. I said no as I have alot of life in me + two grand kids to boot. Yes I can't do alot of walking far but I am a diabetic and I have trouble walking far. So with out me knowing how much the medical agency they push hard to want me on this MAID program. This just sucks.
You're comment got me very curious ( by the way I farm in Alberta and do have my class 1 which I have only been using to haul our own grain ) as can you explain how the medical establishment approached you about MAID and what their reasoning was to murder you .. essentially. Was this a doctor treating you suggesting this or do they have a key staff member in a hospital setting that's job is to pounce on anyone they see as a case of ( and do not take offence to this wording ) "A Useless Eater" meaning anyone that isn't slaving their butt off working to pay taxes.

Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect my funds and make profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $250k since then.
This is exactly how i wish to get my finances coordinated ahead of retirement. Can I get access to your advisor?

The new retirement age proposal in Canada is 72……eventually and quietly the government will change this.I scrimped and saved and invested and went without thinking to take an early retirement at 55….. I will add an additional 10 years so I can help my son get started in life. It’s a uneven road we are on.
Makes sense, it's the same reason why the homeless problem keeps getting worse. In the politicians eyes, they're not contributing to the tax kitty, so investing in displaced people with tax dollars doesn't seem like a good investment to them. The united states has a tax monster that keeps getting bigger and bigger, retired people may have savings or investments, but all are drawing social security, which is a bit of a pyramid scheme in a sense as the working class paying into it now, may not see the benefits later.
Most of our problems are self made, with, of course, exceptions. Eat bad, bad health, addictions, get in debt instead of saving to buy, marriage only works well for a few, kids we don't say no to, jobs we hate because we don't prepare for options. Sad, but true. Care and take care of yourself.
Just one thing to be noted. He mentions if you work till you even older. Your health issues do increase as you get older. Yes there’s other factors also but not everybody’s going to be able to work until they are 70 or 75 especially if you have a more heavy physical job. I have seen many jobs that are rough and when you’re younger you might be able to do but as the years go by they run you into the ground literally. Not everyone can do these jobs into their later years. There is people who are forced into nursing homes because they are no longer able to live independently and have no choice because of their health conditions. I’m sure the government would like to not have to pay as many benefits out any longer than they have to. They are the ones who have mismanaged and poorly managed the finances of the system. The rest of the system especially the healthcare will bleed you dry while doing a crap job of treating the symptoms and not the causes while the insurance companies play dictators of what they allow the healthcare system to do in order to keep you alive or in the best level of life. Anyway this was a good video that was presented very well. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My parents both spent same number of years in the civil service, but my mom was investing through a wealth manager, and my dad through the 401k.
I retired in 2006 after 28 years in the job. That was 18 years ago. My goal is to live long enough that I will have been collecting my pension for longer than I actually worked at the job. Stop eating processed food and seed oils. Sugar and carbs are toxic. Exercise every day and maintain social and family relationships.

Why tell the truth? True, once you make it to 62, your average lifespan is past 80. But people don't want to hear that. They want an excuse to be lazy and retire. I'm all for retiring. But not until you're financially set. Living poor in retirement, isn't retirement at all.
Thumbs up. I don't even have to listen to all of it to know what's up. Consumer spending and thusly the whole economy are driven by the *GOTTA HAVE IT. . . NOW . . . CULTURE.* That means mostly younger folks many of whom know they have to work hard to get whatever it is they want. Older folks either already have what they went after. Or like me they simply don't care to bust hump for things that don't really matter to them anymore. Did i nail it ?????????? I think so. And society just doesn't need, doesn't want, and doesn't like smart oldsters who will not cooperate fully with all modern trends. And if you think society isn't smart enough to figure out which ones aren't toeing the party line. Think again. George Orwell's *1984* is among us in full force. Call it (1) a Zeitgeist (2) group instinct (3) herd mentality or god forbid (4) Satan. Don't believe ????? I understand completely. But when the shyt hits the fans there will be a lot more believers in the trenches. It's happened before. And it will happen again.
your health is your responsibility - it's not the government's responsibility, or the food companies, or anyone else. I figured out longevity so it can be done.
For some.
Then they need to stop poisoning our food.
Oh shut up
Charlie - True, but people will hate you for telling the truth. They want the government to feel them healthy food, workout for them and watch their weight while giving them drugs to regulate their issues. Afterall, it's easier to take a pill , than exercise 90 minutes everyday. They can't say NO to a Big Mac meal.
the food you ate during your life is not the contaminated crap out there today
Great points, we Are 67, how much time is left? The Gov doesn’t care or want us. Don
Retired at 55 and began collecting a pension. Started collecting Social Security (deferred) at 70. I'll be 78 this September.
You said it Bro! Keep working if you want live longer.
Retirees have contributed a lot!
It's all up to you. Don't blame anyone else for your decisions in life. If you did not save and invest enough to live well (in retirement) when you were working then that's on you!
Well you summed it up nicely there's no denying it that's exactly how it is
If you’re living in California then YES! You are correct. Your state is down for the count. What you are saying is not true for everyone in every state. If you haven’t eaten processed cruddy food all your life and took care of your body and mind you will not be in the situation you’ve described. I’m semi retired at 61 , and enjoying life to the fullest and only on one medication which is only temporary. Living in California with that miserable corrupt governor, you’re screwed man
My elderly mother always said that a doctor ignores old people’s complaints because the sooner they die the sooner you get off of SS and Medicare, in the US.
My father in law retired at 68 this past year. He is now diagnosed with with Parkinson's and pulmonary fibrosus. He worked his but off his entire life, never drank or smoked, worked out regularly, looked 10 years younger than he was. Anything can happen.....
I retired 17 years ago. I try to eat healthy, but I have had numerous surgeries since then. Over a million dollars in medical expenses on the Medicare dime! I'm grateful to have been treated well by the medical community. However, it's a struggle to just keep a quality of productive life as I advance in age. I know I'm costing our health care system an enormous amount of capital just to function. It's all about the money that our medical community is making off Medicare, and it's just a business. Every physician I have requires more and more duplicate testing to the point of redundancy. They request procedure that seem unnecessary. I worked in health care, and I know our Medicare system is being taken advantage of. We are simply sqeezing blood out of every senior citizen to keep the revenue coming in.
what are the adjustments to it neil?
Look at you living high in Big Sur (the salad bowl) in Northern Cali. A very beautiful area!
Folks, work to set yourself up for as a comfortable life as possible. No one is expected to live forever. I have been working since I was 14, stopped working before I was 62, now drawing social security. I love not working anymore. My financial freedom and financially means a lot to me. I wanted to stop working at 45, but had to build that work portfolio in order to live a reasonably comfortable lifestyle.
I work a 9 to 5 no health insurance
Try to save to go to Saipan for my last stop …. So I can live longer
I just turned 41 and awfully late to investing with barely any portfolio except my 401k, I have a decent amount of cash saved up and with inflation currently soaring AGAIN, I’m getting worried about retirement, my intention is to retire at 65 atleast, so how best do I maximize my savings of over $500k
Everyone’s been preaching investing lately as a source of passive income but with a 70 hour weekly jobs and limited knowledge of financial instruments, how can I actually stay on top of things, I see every TH-cam video saying BUY BUY! But when and how do I sell for profit at the right time?
is it really worth investing in stocks in 2024, I’ve been on the sidelines watching the market for awhile and it seems to be pretty stagnant to me not that it matters because I’m in it for the long run, but how can one generate actual profit in this current market?
How can I reach this person?
