  1. You did not lose a dime if you did not sell. It takes no market expert to expect declines and wait them out.
    2
  2. Who says? Everyone who understands investment is the only way to get rich. I am worried about you.
    2
  3. it is up to you to avoid them
    2
  4. you are proof anyone can win if they take responsibility for themselves
    2
  5. You are an example of how to do it right.
    2
  6. In a 401k, you receive free money to invest and grow until you need it for retirement. Pay attention to how it is invested and it will serve you well.
    2
  7. You have not been treated deceitfully or unfairly. Plainly, there is a record of the money drawn for your retirement since you know a computer readout showed it was there. To say there is no record of the money is obviously a contradiction because they did show you a record of it. You are lost and confused. Stop blaming others and take charge of your life.
    2
  8. Corporations do not have the worker's interests at heart. They do have the shareholder's interests at heart. Anyone can become a shareholder in any corporation while working elsewhere. How about you?
    2
  9. You prove it is possible.
    2
  10. It is self evident that simple people will never understand this content. Claim you spot now before there is no room under a bridge for you.

  11. In the USA system of capitalism some make others rich with the fruits of thier labor. In the USA you are free to start your own business instead of working to make others rich. Using our system of capitalism will serve you well. Consumerism is your choice to buy things you don't need, usually on credit because you can't afford them, to make others rich. It is your own fault if you take that course. ' Find a trade you enjoy and people will pay you to perform. Keep the profits of your own labor. Spend less than you make, invest the difference. Patience and fortitude will make things go your way. When folks are mean and rude, stay cool and keep your mood. Patience and fortitude and things will go your way.

  12. Out?

  13. Bear

  14.  @mialangley2388  you are buying stocks at a bargain , just now.
    2
  15. Robert Kiyosaki is a fraud. If you find a way to afford what you cannot afford, you will. of course, be in debt your whole life. Why are you letting some youtube personality do your thinking for you.
    2
  16. companies do not exist to take care of their employees. they are not moms. companies exist to make a profit for their owners, which can be you if you buy a share. employees must care for themselves.
    2
  17. how will that help you retire?
    2
  18. why a new version? what has changed since then. nothing.
    1
  19. No one does that. If you don't understand you do it to yourself, you will always fail
    1
  20. You are proof that it is only your own fault if you cant save for retirement.
    1
  21. people like you. speak for yourself
    1
  22. low risk /high return investments cannot exist
    1
  23. you are right. manage your own money.
    1
  24. How will this help people who dont work for large corporations? Thanks for explaining
    1
  25. exactly. they spent the money they should have been saving
    1
  26. As you stated, the people you know did not invest in an IRA using living expenses as an excuse and invested in the wrong funds. The people that I know, including myself, made sure to invest in the right IRA funds, instead of blowing our earnings on "life". Be specific: What was the bait? What was the switch? OR Are you trying to blame some "system" instead of yourself? See Stella 1800 comment, below.

  27. I don't get what you are saying. Since you know you needed to work for a better company, why did you fail to do so? Its a free country, you are free to make good choices, and you are free to manage your life to live in poverty.
    1
  28. name one
    1
  29. greed is good. don't you go to the movies? buy shares and cash in on the greed yourself.
    1
  30. People who can't spell their can't be expected to take care of themselves.
    1
  31. only comment here that makes sense.
    1
  32. America in an ongoing capitalism enterprise, because we all know selfishness is a core human trait. If you did not learn that in grade school, being naive is not your problem. It's just ignorance of how America is set up to help those who want to help themselves succeed
    1
  33. The nurses who work for the government, as in, for a VA hospital or as an enlisted or officer personnel in the armed forces do receive a pension. All the professions you listed receive pensions because they are government employees. Nurses who work in the private sector, at a higher salary, should be smart enough to plan and save for their own retirement. It is just wrong if they are too stupid to plan their own retirement. It is just plain wrong for them to expect that someone else will pay for their own retirement.
    1
  34. I am not sure if I am a millioner or not. What is that?
    1
  35. Obviously you know exactly what to do. You win the game of life.
    1
  36. Yes. if you create a budget to live on half of what you take home, and invest the rest
    1
  37. You are not the only person who has your back. Uncle Sam does, as well. If you are a citizen, you have been paying into SS, and will receive a check as early as age 62. That is not meant to be enough, of course. ....Take charge of your own back and start your own retirement plan! Are you a man or a mouse? You can retire the very first second your own retirement plan allows you to do so.
    1
  38. This is the only intelligent comment here.
    1
  39. Everyone in my retirement community just plays golf all day. Too bad you did not plan to live here.
    1
  40. yes. It is too bad you don't know the obvious method of investing, not just saving.
    1
  41. then why do advise speaking to them if you know it is futile?
    1
  42. corporations are owned by ordinary people via shares. that is the american way.
    1
  43. Is it cruel and heartless to raise funds to pay for the nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers that protect you? It is clear you believe that allowing a war on our land is kindness.
    1
  44. here here
    1
  45. Millennials need to know they don't have a mom anymore, they are grownups who must fend for themselves.
    1
  46. You were not paying attention to your own money. Wow!
    1
  47. too bad you cant arrange your life to find a job you enjoy.
    1
  48. it is sad you are too bitter to understand how to take care of yourself
    1
  49. Fascinating comment. Please explain how medical advancements could provide for us? Thanks.
    1
  50. In America, anyone can position themselves to take the high ground on the corporate landscape. You are bitter because you failed to take the opportunity. If you can become a man, and face up to your own failures, you will do OK.
    1
  51. Because they learned to be top earners? Could that be it?
    1
  52. how about explaining how that could be done? thanks.
    1
  53. Congratulations. You are not one of the feckless whiners. You won the game of life.
    1
  54. Hold on there cowboy, if you don't like having anyone touch your money, why did you allow it.
    1
  55. The point is you are investing for your retirement. Makes sense to everyone else.
    1
  56. what is different? The two thousand commenters find it relevant. I pity the fools who can't learn from history.
    1
  57. america is controlled by americans who,via shares, own the corporations
    1
  58. Don't be silly. Technology has been displacing private sector employees for centuries. Read about the Ludites. What happened to the cowboys when vehicles became available? They had a clear choice, change with the times or wither away. If you blame your failure to keep up on someone else, you will never do well. Anyone with a bit of vision find the current arrangement not only sustainable, but extremely viable.
    1
  59. Since you already know a 401k investment will make you a millionaire, your belief 401k holders are feeling pain is clearly wrong. Try to think straight. (The stock market will always do good over the decades that you work. )
    1
  60. That was tried, and failed in 1991 in the U.S.S.R.
    1
  61. Do you really want to pay the medical bill of other people who smoke, are overweight, and don't exercise, instead of having your money grow in the stock market?
    1
  62. ? please elaborate
    1
  63. Fascinating comment. What , exactly is our system?
    1
  64. Because You do not have to be a financial expert to take interest in your own affairs, Your comment is WRONG. PEROID. I am going to throw in an END OF STORY.
    1
  65. here is your update: no change
    1
  66. Its a free country. you are free to be in a high place, and you are free to fail.
    1
  67. One more thing wrong with you: you don't know the past is prologue
    1
  68. they are a business
    1
  69. in the usa, it is your own fault if all you can do is be a blue collar worker
    1
  70. You must take personal responsibility to learn how to invest. Employers are not your parents. You did the right thing by joining NAIC. The Boy Scouts will teach you in the Personal Management Merit Badge. Why be loyal? They pay you. They stop paying you? Don't be loyal. Employers deserve respect because they pay your bills, and give you the money you need, and if you know how to manage it, to retire.
    1
  71. There is no match, of course. They are just giving you the money that you have earned in a different form. The match is just a trick to get you to do what is best for you, despite your own self destructive behavior.
    1
  72. Rely on yourself instead of a system, of course.
    1
  73. As an added note it is ridiculous your high school did not teach you to spell.
    1
  74. update: nothing has changed.
    1
  75. Because America is a free country. You are free to teach your children well, or not teach them. The Boy Scouts insist that all Eagle Scouts learn money management. My mom taught me money management when I was in elementary school.
    1
  76. Beware everyone. The above remark is from a bot.
    1
  77. here is your update: nothing has changed.
    1
  78. I worry about the people who can't learn from history.
    1
  79. Solution: plan to join the elite.
    1
  80. Social Security is scholarship for old age, you silly goose.
    1
  81. help us out. what did you conclude.
    1
  82. What are you talking about. SS has COLA increases to account for inflation. The entire and only reason to invest in growing companies is to take inflation into account. They sleep well because they know if you screw up you own life, it is your fault. People like you will never do well if you are expecting some one else to look out for you. You think that anyone who is not your mother are greedy, slimely, triflin mofos. Be a man, take care of yourself.
    1
  83. only good comment in here
    1
  84. The pilgrams were illegal immigrants. They set us up to succeed, not suffer.
    1
  85. duh . did you think that up all by yourself? that's why it was repeated and has more than 2k comments.
    1
  86. What is your point.
    1
  87. crybaby. since you know that happens, it is easy to plan for it. do not spend everything you earn, put half away for rainy days and retirement, and you will be fine.
    1
  88. I am not enough of a savant to know how to take ss before 62. please explain.
    1
  89. In the American dream, you can invest in corporations and cash in. Since you vote, you are the government. Too bad you screwed yourself by not taking advantage of the American dream to become rich.
    1
  90. You will work until you die if you dont replace you assumption with a plan. For a start, try McCawber's Rule.
    1
  91. You will work until you die if you don't change your assumption to a plan. Start with the McCawber Principle.
    1
  92. people in their right mind will invest in corporations and cash in on the stolen money.
    1
  93. I pity the fools who refuse to learn from history. They are condemned to repeat the mistakes of the past.
    1
  94. 2008 was an excellent once in a lifetime, once in a century, opportunity to invest for retirement.
    1
  95. Then there're people who can't spell there're. Years ago a high school diploma certified that you can spell "with".
    1
  96. You are proof the whiners have only themselves to blame.
    1
  97. Sorry, dude, that does sound selfish.
    1
  98. there are no fees if you manage it yourself, you silly goose.
    1
  99. why not buy united shares and cash in on the greed yourself
    1
  100. is that a question? the answer is yes. I pity the fools who do not understand that the past is prologue.
    1
  101. 40b sent to ukraine so we dont have to suffer a war here.
