That's pathetic. I don't feel one bit sorry for these people who have to work into their 70's when they had the opportunity to plan ahead and the ability to save.Average 401(k) balance: Strategies for every age

Got my 22 yr old putting 3%+match. Hopefully he'll continue doing it, and just not waiting for me to kick the bucket.

I was told they don’t teach finance in most public schools by design. They want you on the gerbil wheel is what she said.
Heaven forbid if they taught you some life skills that you actually needed.

She'd laugh at me if I started quoting poetry to her.
Some "poetry" just sounds like a regular paragraph, to me.

No cursive being taught anymore- kids still can't make change for a buck or tell time unless its a digital clock--the list goes on and on. No child left behind (basically means everyone graduates no matter how dumb you are).

Don't know if that would work. Needs to be demonstrated over a period of time.
