Don’t forget if something happens to the market and your investments hit the crapper. Not so bad if you have time to wait to recover but if it’s within that age window…

Not that this ever really happen though…

One of my friends’ mothers lost half her retirement money in the course of a couple of week two years ago, when the Big Troubles hit. She’s sixtyish. That’s a hell of a lot of retirement to build back up.

Fucking grasshopper that she is, an RN who raised three kids on her own after her husband killed himself.
