Straight Line of the Day: If You’ve Got Less Than $1K To Retire On…

Average American retirement savings are alarmingly low

New data from the National Institute of Retirement Security shows that the average American worker has less than $1,000 saved for retirement. …

The figure of less than $1,000 saved includes workers with retirement savings accounts such as 401(k) plans, as well as approximately 56 million U.S. workers who currently lack access to any employer-sponsored retirement plan.

Americans say they need roughly $1.5 million to retire comfortably, and the average savings for all employed adults aged 21 to 64 is just $955. For those who do have retirement savings, the average balance stands at about $40,000—far below the amount many consider necessary for a secure retirement.

    Then you’re a total Loser and you should just go to a craps table in Vegas and try to turn whatever you have into a million or so…then, after going completely broke go down the road a bit to Area 51 and crash through the gate going 80mph to just end it all.

    . . . get a Minnesota LLC from any place in the world using an address from a vacant lot, then register a day care or health care facility. Spread the graft to Democrat enablers. Retire within minutes.
