why do you people always KNEE JERK spew hate on people ?
because your hate filled people
the right says fuck you to anyone who didn't correctly save the amount people need to fund an expensive retirement.
This is the kind of crap I was decrying. He wasn't asking for pity. He was working damn hard. He took care of his responsibilities all his life. His soc sec would cover, but he wants to do more so he works hard to earn more money.
And you're telling him to rot in the ground?
That's why I figured you didn't read the entire article. This is a hard-working guy, worked hard all his life, didn't get a fat pension, isn't sitting around posting on message boards, he's still out there giving value.
He even says he could get by without working - but he's choosing to work.
No idea why you're pissed off at him.
is there a right to an expensive retirement?......
a decent retirement is NOT an expensive one.
You people pretend this guy should have saved enough when he made 6 figures to retire at a 6 figure income
Because he's a Boomer and they are all scum.
Actually I I didn't read the article and assumed based on kens title he was crying more crocodile "woe is me" tears.
Ah. next time, read the article...(smile)

and there you have it.

Finances are NOT taught to kids for some reason.
People are just supposed to know this by osmosis I guess.
Guess why pensions were designed the way they are designed?
Because MOST human beings will not properly fund their retirements on their own.
You people just say FUCK YOU if you didn't.
Its how you see your fellow man.
You don't care about them and would happily watch them starve in the streets while you mocked them.
That is the sociopathic outlook.
pretend its not.
It still is.
human behavior is a reality.
its not you excuse to say fuck you to people in need.
Its a reason to BETTER design our system in the reality of true human behavior.
Your the reason people hate this country.
You don't give a rats ass about anyone.

I know of no one and have never known anyone in the 6 figure range that works for an hourly wage. As others have mentioned, there are too many unanswered questions here to draw any conclusions whatsoever. Except for one that is only relative to portions of this conversation. As a boomer there ain't nobody here that's had more fun, more opportunities given and failed and offered up again, more experience in life in more ways than I can remember, etc. I listen to the complaints of my kids, the ME generation, my grandkids, the X generation and the more recent millenials and to be quite frank, they completely bore me. None of them know much or care much about any quests for a good and exciting life.

Most lawyers do not work for hourly wages. They work for hourly fees and those fees can be double, triple, quadruple and beyond in collective imbursement for simultaneous work performed. Lawyers that do work for an hourly wage are generally in the upper 5 figure and some lower 6 figure range. I know of at least 40 lawyers working for Federal Express that make less than $70,000 annual. Others make more than that but these lawyers are very happy to get what they get.
