    It is truly alarming how much it takes to live today. Housing, vehicle, insurance, utility, food, education costs have risen exponentially over the last 7-8 years. The average cost of a home in a “good” neighborhood is around $450-$500K here. New and used cars are ridiculously high. I looked at a new F-250 the other day, not a diesel, and the sticker was $89,000.00! 😵‍💫 Who are buying these things? I seriously have concerns about young people being able to enjoy the standard of living my generation (I’m 56) has without help from their parents. The number of employees at my workplace that contribute to their retirement fund is frighteningly low. I think this a big part of why socialism appeals to so many young people. All that said I see a good number of people in their 20s and 30s with $500K homes, two new or newish vehicles, kids, the latest i-gadgets, taking nice vacations, hear them talking about spending $250 on dinner, and have to wonder “what am I doing wrong?”. Have you tried going out to eat on a weekend? You can’t get in the door. Try booking a vacation, better plan a year ahead of time. I live a pretty comfortable life. Have made above average money for the last 35 years. I’ve always contributed the maximum amount the company matches into 401K and for the past 20 or so another 20% on top of that. I had hoped to retire at 62. Now I’m not even sure if that will be possible. Maybe I’m just turning into a scared old man.😁

    Years ago; Someone told me you need to save or invest 2000 to 5000 a month for 30 years…I laughed out loud…but you know what? He wasn’t far off…a decent vehicle is 50 to 80 Gs now…medical, car and home maintenance off the scale… plus decent homes in a good neighborhood is 1/2 a mill…and retirement checks never get bigger…I know many people that will work to the grave.

      When you retire at the US average age of 55, it takes 3 million dollars on average to live out the rest of your life to the US average life expectancy of 76 years old while remaining retired and never reentering the work force. If you have less than 3 million dollars, you literally have to make sacrifices to continue living for the 2ish decades you have left. Live longer than that? You're out of money.

      @Hickok45Talks 3 години тому

      You're looking at numbers I've never seen anywhere in the financial literature. If a person retires early, before SS kicks in, yeah, you'd need to be more careful and have more savings probably. But, if you retire at around 65 with 1M invested, taking 4% a year has proven to be safe for 30 years or more. That would be 40K + your Social Security + whatever else you might have saved, including your equity in your home. Not a "life of luxury," but millions do fine on it.

    I love the woods too Can't stay away.... it has been in my blood since I was a child, still get out there on a regular basis at 70 to hike and ride a Mtn bike, snowshoe As to Not working or having to work, the statement about having freedom in you later years is dead on the money (pun intended) I was in the work force for over 45 years as a Pipefitter/welder. Not having to go to a job and be told what to do (or be responsible for telling someone else what to do all day).... is one of the best things that a person can experience, especially after paying a mortgage, putting kids though school, weddings, saving for Retirment etc. etc. etc. You don't need to be rich, Just content and have some common sense. Sound advice.... all of it

    Yup. Good solid advice. Invest some, check the details of a 401k, pay attention to what the employer matches or contributes, set up a trust, and be mindful of the ratio between what goes in and what goes out monthly and annually.

      @Elfenlied8675309 8 годин тому

      Every single one of the dozens of retired old people I know NEVER go out to eat. Literally never. They are the more obsessed with money than anybody else alive because they live on fixed incomes.

    • @Hickok45Talks
      @Hickok45Talks 3 години тому

      Yep, I'm afraid a lot of young people seem to get steeped in envy when they see older people able to afford things they themselves cannot afford. They turn this into some weird way to just blame older people, as if the reason they can spend some money is because everything was simple for them. Duh, if a person works his or her entire life and manages money and life reasonably well, that person SHOULD be in position to live a decent life after the working years. That should be the goal of everybody, but it doesn't happen automatically; it requires some discipline. Sad that a lot of undisciplined people just live for the day and then blame those who HAD some discipline. But, that's the way of the world these days; everything is somebody ELSE's fault.

    My son, who is 54, retired after 33 years on his job, with full pay the rest of his life.. So he is set for life. A few weeks ago he had a heart attack and survived thanks too fast action by the local police and rescue people. Now, this is an example of, you never know what life has in store for you until it happens. So all I can say, at 79 years old is, life is like a box of chocolate , you never know what you are gong to get until you take that first bite. " Forest Gump"

    Hickok I never heard it as a word but the 4 words together many times and they are a good reminder. But keep in mind that you only live on this corrupt world once. After that we sleep until the judgement. I am all about leaving something good for the kids but tell me beyond leaving it for the kids what good can not enjoying it bring? I think we all should enjoy our lives, within the boundaries of Torah. You Only Live Once Hickok45 so take the time to get yourself right with the Christ.

    As a gun and reloading enthusiast, the news of Mike Venturino's passing strikes me and saddens me greatly. A one-of-a-kind journalist, with a specialization in the weapons of the old West, in fact without equal. No, life does not end like this. This life on Earth is just a brief parenthesis waiting for the real one, which does not end. We are here for a moment, five minutes compared to eternity, and we have the opportunity to collect beautiful things, that we like and love, ... we will not take them with us on the journey, but we will have within us the concentrated juice of these beautiful passions and once we get there, we will have time to rework this material collected in this brief parenthesis and enjoy it forever.
