Indeed ... I continue to find much to be thankful and grateful for as my life moves ever more certainly to my finality.

I'm not comparing one generation, each had their own challenges. Vietnam war is an example my generation didn't have to deal with.

All I'm saying is our government has done this, they have set this situation up and I'm not taking it lying down.

I own a bakery and I have some retirement put away, wasn't a lot due to circumstances. A lot of the wealth I should have collected by now has been squandered on one emergency after another. Poor investments, coupled with a stagnate economy and a high cots of living has taken its toll. I know when I speak with other in my generation, they have zero money put away. We joke about Walmart but there are only so many greeter jobs available for the 70+ crowd. To the boomers, its not your fault; never implied that... Its the government and the economy, if anyone is at fault, its the gen-z, I hire these kids. All with college debt working at a bakery, really. The younger generation has no industry, knowledge or willingness to learn, with exceptions; the exceptions are few and far between. I think the problem is the Marxist indoctrination, one of those steps is that they have been schooled to believe that they are the smartest generation that has ever lived and that they have nothing to learn from my generation. Its simply a Marxist self-protection mechanism.

Dittos to everyone from Commiefornia!

Our teachers are teaching socialism and hate, when instead they could be teaching the great history of this nation. When students learn about the American Revolution, they realize how precious this nation is, because we came so close to never existing.

Happy Birthday to Gulchers and their families everywhere!
Peekaboos who with interest only looks in here, that goes for you too.

Happy Thanksgiving! My hope is for more people to have gratitude, instead of attitude. Stop the hating, start participating.

I know we don't usually include The Bee,, but this one from Tuesday is particularly appropriate when you look at the turkeys behind Trump.

Yes, dinos get no respect on Thanksgiving. Why?
Paleontologists believe all birds including the turkey evolved from dinos.

HTDay red riding hood Dino, make sure you hold on tight while riding on that hood to Aunt Pam's house!

Happy Thanksgiving all! Waiting all morning for relatives to pick me at 12:15 to ride over the river and through the woods for over an hour to Aunt Pam's house we go.

Glad the Turkey's got a Non Autopen Pardon!

Ditto! and to prove it, I just posted a Thanksgiving Day EDITION of IN THE MEME TYME.
Have a GREAT DAY.

Agreed! Me (Grandpa) and Grandma did it for decades. Now the "kids" are taking over and all we have to do is show up - AWESOME!

Once they win it will take generations of pain, suffering, and gulags before it changes - could be centuries as there is no America to rescue America.

And here in The Gulch, I'm surrounded by people who still know how to think critically, and who have enough self-awareness to know exactly who and what they are. I just hope we aren't a dying breed.

Yeah...it's all based on bullshit. It's like saying, "You can't come to the hospital if you're sick because you might make somebody else sick." I design hospitals, by the way...so I think that's funny.

It's over. Their game will only work on the truly ignorant now that the Ford Cohort study is out.

My dad was a boomer. They had it pretty damn good...all (emphasis on "all") things considered. I'm very close to your age, Jack. We are really getting hammered and the economics in effect now are CLEARLY threatening to make our "retirements" worse than what the boomers faced. Me...personally...it's inflation that looms very large. I signed paperwork just yesterday to acquire another rental property. The stock market has gotten pretty volatile. I've had to go from the old classic of "60% equities, 40% bonds and HODL!", to trend-following (something that did very well for a long time), to just buying dips for short term gains here and there. It's a joke. In light of the fact that America has decided to let rapists and child molesters run free, open our borders to MILLIONS of undocumented men of military age...and given them free housing, food, clothes and phones...I'm really looking forward to paying very little taxes soon. Compiling receipts and logging expenses has become a new favorite hobby as I fight back this next tax season - all legal, all legit. Wait till our kids get to our age. They won't be able to retire. Retirement is going to cease in America for the middle class...unless you came here illegally. Big, dysfunctional, perverted government is all that will be left for the next generation.

Happy Thanksgiving. I love this holiday. Family and food. A little drink and relaxation. Can't beat it!

Right - I didn't directly say that but everything is risky when the dollar crashes, even metals. I just see metals recovering (or more to the point, the dollar devaluing)

Jack. Yeah, my best friend is just like you. I've been there as well (Owning MCI and NorTel when I shouldn't have).

Yep, the government is INSOLVENT and needs to PRINT it's way out. I have metals as well.

But isn't it sad that there is no "basic" investment to make, so that as you get to retirement, you can draw an income from it. Decades ago, retired people owned stocks with dividends, and CDs which were paying okay rates. Those days are long gone. (Although, in hindsight, considering the TRUE inflation, they were NEVER there, because inflation was ALWAYS worse than the returns. LOL).

Hopefully some of the OTHER INFO about how to extract your money with the smallest tax burden can help others that are here.

Agreed! THE Producers Holiday.
This year seems so much brighter than the last four.

And football...

I get it... No thanks... I've avoided Bitcoin and everything related to crypto currency as it has no value on its own. I get it, I know you have made a ton of money. Good for you, I'm truly happy for you. You see, you don't want me to invest in this stock because as soon as I do, it will go to zero. You see, with any thing like crypto currency, everyone gets rich besides the last few that pay for the whole thing, I'd be the last person or the patsy. Metals can go down but will never go to zero. I've more then doubled my holdings this year alone and the event I invested in metals haven't even happened yet. Its the debasement triad.

agreed - its a ponzi scheme

The leftist motto.
I make up for my incompetence by having high confidence that I am right, and anyone who disagrees with me is simply Evil!
