Doesn't the money you invest right before retirement make the least amount of difference? You want to front load your high earning activities.
The pay is dismal, but that's exactly why people who no longer need the money (retired from industry) can afford to try teaching for a few years before moving onto a startup or opening up a pub. That's what some of my high school teachers did and that's what I plan to do.
- BrianOnHN 6y ago> front load your high earning activities That's a nice thought, but I'm sure this idea would be lost on 90% of the US population. But if you think the remaining 10% "going back to be teachers" is going to save education, well, God help us.
- iso1210 6y agoHN is full of people that graduated from college into jobs on $200k a year plus, putting at least $averagesalary into index linked 401ks, having benefited from the mass transfer of growth from workers to owners over the last decade or so, and are in a position to retire in their mid-to-late 30s. That's not normal.
