Shows how little 5K is these days.
Things have gone up 4-5 times in price in 25 years.
Old people are getting way **** over. Retirement savings stripped of value.
It was predicted a long time ago that the gubmint would engineer a situation to tap the elder wealth.
There was a LOT of money trapped in 401k's and so on. It ain't trapped anymore.
Please seat yourself.

Most people who work these days have no problems with income. They're making good money, taxes are down - their finances look great.

The problem isn't making good money. The problem is the money's no good.

Wages increase but that really doesn't change anything for fixed income folks.
Except for allowing prices to rise incrementally yet again.

I've had this discussion more than once with fixed income people.

That $200 set of tires (10 hours of work @ $20/hr) put into the retirement account 20+ years ago.
That set costs $1000 now.
The question is whether real return on the $200 in 20 years was 500%.

Exclusive of taxes at withdrawal you'd need a NOMINAL annual return of 8.3%.

But, of course, you knew that..

I don't claim to be a financial expert. Never have. You claim it though.
So a reasoned explanation why elders hate inflation and why it's referred to as a "generational tax" would seem to be in order. I see their concerns as valid. Please advise.

Investments can go negative but inflation hasn't gone backwards (deflation).
A spike in prices in general can affect people basically as a permanent new normal.
That devaluation of their saved money is what I was referring to. I openly invite any correction.

So that is all over the place. Every bank savings account pays that? No.
Real return for 25 years of 8.3% seems a bit aggressive.

But for the 8 years of George Bush Jr.  you could have made it comfortably..

SouthernFried, clean your daddies tool, it has your excrement smeared all over it.
In my experiences, I have yet to meet a non-peaceful Muslim, as most I know embody kindness, compassion, and a deep respect for others. They share their beliefs with warmth, promoting understanding rather than conflict. In contrast, I cannot claim the same about every Christian I’ve encountered.

Which,  you have convinced yourself, will not add to the deficit about which you are inclined to complain.

Charles Dickens wrote  A Christmas Carol for a reason back in the day..

It's  weird, I lived my life taught Marxism was bad.  I now learn he was just the Sole Result of his time.. Marx only made predictions and warnings.. He had no solutions.. But sure as hell his predictions fit today like a glove.

Elon thinks money will cease to exist.. I am sure Karl Marx is cheering him on from wherever  he is.  If getting rid of currency and shaking the monetary system to its core isn't  **** nothing is..

I asked my Star Trek Food Replicator to make a gallon of gas.  The machine blew up..

Phil is underfunded for retirement, his portfolio is pitiful.
