Um, what?
Like, cashflow at 50 with 3 kids is important.
Yeah, you've saved for retirement at ~65ish, but you have 2 kids in college with one on the way up, plus a mortgage, plus just regular life stuff. That's not an unreasonable scenario at all.
Like, do you live in a first world nation? Honestly, the paradigm changes a lot in the 3rd world and your confusion would be more appropriate in Chad or something.
(In Chad, average age of first birth is 18, so you'd reasonably be a grand parent by 50, plus cost of living is very low)
- user5994461 9y agoI live in a first world nation. College education is free, allegedly. If you have kids before your thirties, they will all be +25 when you are 55. They most likely finished college, they probably left the family home.
- Balgair 9y agoIn the US college is NOT free, and that's 330 million people living here.
- talmand 9y agoDon't worry, it's just someone that has no idea of what they speak of pretending they know how to tell other people in a completely different context on how their lives should have turned out.
- user5994461 9y agoJust because your life turned to having no home and no pension doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else.
- talmand 9y agoI believe that was exactly my point.
