Articles like these frighten me. In my thirties, I am deeply worried about retirement, if that ever comes, and surviving in my old age. So much can go wrong. Ever since I read David Raether's story[0] of going from half-a-million a year as a TV writer, to homeless living in a van, I've focused considerable effort to make sure I am never homeless.
I invest in a Roth IRA,
I own a home that I rent out,
I joined a church to build more ties in the community, and
I spend a lot of time staying out of debt, and building savings.
If you are in debt from credit cards, the single greatest thing you can do for your future is to get the hell out of that debt!
