    The new middle-class retirement plan: Working into old age Death.

    I’ve long since given up any expectation of having a retirement, beyond the token contribution to a 401k equivalent (which I fully expect to be wiped out in one fell swoop by health issues around my 50s, genetics are not on my side).

      Why would you sacrifice to save today just to give it to a corporation later? If you sacrifice you’ll be broke. If you don’t then you’re no worse off.
