Plus a fan in Wyoming who doesn't hate me. But then again he lives in Cheyenne which is much more cosmopolitan and less trailer trashy than the rest of the state.
from the dad link: "36% of people have less than $1,000 saved for retirement" and "the average 50 year old has saved just $50,000 toward retirment"
my knee jerk reaction is how can people be so irresponsible, but just a casual glance at history tells me most peoples did not plan ahead. i mean, name one instance of any story of people living in the 1600s that had credit accounts all over the village. so people today not planning ahead should not suprise.
that said, i do two things. i'm probably a 1%'er because i actualyy save one $1,000 every month for my future and i also spend $1,000 on some thing every month like a trip just in case the govt sees my nice stash of cash and takes it because they have more guns than i do.(and if they do that, i become bitter old yelling at kids with tatoos because they voted in the govt that took my money).

Nah, we're all trailer trash out here.
We have to drive down to Ft Collins to find fancy restaurants and hippies to frighten.
