Not quite a decade ago, I rolled a company pension over into an annuity. But, it isnt the only investment, just a part of the picture.I hesitate to believe that my situation is ideal for stocks, but, I own a few. The money market funds seem to be a better option for a guy like me in these times, I believe the market is changing too quickly for little guys to have a bunch of money in individual stocks. My bunch of money is not a bunch of money to some people. That said, I am stunned at the people in my age bracket who have nothing saved. Nothing. I also have friends who left the job market, due to injury or illness, who have almost nothing.
As Lloyd put it, sobering.
You guys who are already retired, I wish you the best. I look forward to it, someday, but, Im holding it off for as long as I (physically) can.
Best,
Ted
