Mr. Bush, what do you mean by "the economy will be fine in the |
|
long run"? I'm 62. I would like to retire before my 80's and I need the income from my investments in order to live. You sort of have a history of ruining other peoples' finances...will these "adjustments", as you call them, ruin mine as well?

2. remember, the closer you get to retirement, the less risky your portfolio should be |
|
Not that anything is totally safe if the whole financial system goes down.

6. Well, then I guess we all need to reconsider... I don't imagine |
|
that I'll be able to continue working into my 80's so I'll have to live on something and we all know that SS doesn't cut it. Why is it that I have been saving all of my life?????

I don't know how any of us will fare.
I'm not quite as old as you, but nearly, and my savings are already all gone. 40 years of working my ass off and I have nada.
