    90 years old and 233k is a “chance” at retirement…

    We can’t keep ignoring this shit, it needs fixed and not just by donation websites.

      Yup. This is a direct consequence of the removal of pensions and wage suppression. Without meaningful change, even those with healthy 401k savings are likely to have trouble retiring.

      That’s far more than he’d need to retire unless he just bought a $600,000 house or something, and even then it’s probably enough. He can retire now. Woohoo!
