Another issue relating to retirement and credit cards: What happens if you retire and your income drops by 40% (or really, if your income drops for any reason)? When you update your employment status and reduced income with the CCCs, how do they react? Do they do nothing as long as you make all payments, or do they proportionately reduce credit lines and generally tighten up, or might they freak out completely and start shutting down cards etc.
Why would you update the banks? Employment status and income should only matter on new lines of credit or requests to increase existing LOC.
Right. It’s when you want a new card or CLI that you need to disclose up to date info, so then they’ll know, and could act on the new information.
No idea why anyone would pay fees to financial advisors in this day and age. Anyone capable of figuring out how to churn credit cards should be able to open a self-directed investment or retirement account.
And then there is the question of why the US tax payers are paying pensions for millionaires in Congress. What happened to the insider trading case of Richard burr.
The experience of virgin airlines proves that the party of capitalists in the US are just a bunch of fake capitalists. They have a safety net when their busineses fail.
Better than yesterday but not by much. 4/10
Is it worth saving for retirement if you’re not planning on living to retirement age? Serious question.
Some, yes. Plans change.
Depends on if you want to leave anything behind aside from 20 maxed out Amex cards and a note that says “F*ck RATs”
I would say the answer is very highly dépendant in the exact situation. Not sure your case but I think you would need to share more details. Not necessarily with me but those in your life Or a financial advisor or a combo to make that decision.
In the event of a premature demise, you can leave the savings to a less-fortunate relative or friend, or a charity.
