Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for June 29, 2024

There have been some dips, but the stock market has done very well under Obama, Trump, and Biden. 401ks reflect that.

O, I see.

Besides, if you retire, you miss out on all the fun.

Aren’t they military? They should get a decent pension.

And me thoughts them space astronuts was paid huuuge salary.

Maybe the crew of the R.U. serious aren’t part of the Federation. I don’t remember the crew of the USS Enterprise getting paid!

K…

she blew all her money on spacedust

It’s all those fancy clothes you buy.

Didn’t Agent X tell her? If she leaves, he’ll have to kill her.

I could retire now, I’m already having to take the minimum draw on my IRA. But I don’t like the typical things that “retired people” do, so I’d just as soon keep working. After all it’s only us old grey haired balding people that understand those AM directional antennas that live in the swamp.

401Ks are invested primarily in market funds, which do well over time. My plan was to work until 70 but disabling headaches meant I had to retire early. If Mom had not unexpectedly left my three brothers and I more than anticipated, it would have been a very meager retirement on my 401K savings. The sooner you start, the happier you will be.
