@conniesnextchapter: Yep. I should’ve saved more. Yep. I should’ve invested earlier. Yep. I would’ve done some shit differently. NO SHIT. 😂 But I can’t change what I did 30 years ago. I CAN change what I do next. I’m 50+, retirement is getting closer, and I’m done wasting time beating myself up over what I should’ve done. Woulda, shoulda, coulda doesn’t fund retirement. So I’m learning. I’m building. And I’m starting NOW. 🔥 Gen X… anybody else? #GenX #Over50 #GenXWomen #Retirement #StartingOverAfter50 @TheNextChapterwithConnie🙌💥💵 @TheNextChapterwithConnie🙌💥💵 @TheNextChapterwithConnie🙌💥💵

Not everyone had the option to save enough to retire. A lot of people made enough to just get by. Not everything is avocado toast and Starbucks.

I could barely afford raising 3 children as a single mom to even think about saving. I had nothing to save 😳

@todayinmybrain :
I raised kids and worked my butt off. I skipped the saving and investing part and spent the money on electric, water, food and rent, if there was anything left it went to the kids. Shoulda, coulda, woulda, but didn’t. 😂

Why didn't you? Did you not know about it, didn't have the money to invest or just didn't want to spend the money that way?

I’m uncomfortable with people saying: We were told / we were not told, etc. Older generations did not save. Younger generations post-college struggling with jobs and student loans. I just don’t get how blaming something outside the self addresses decisions that self made. And respectfully, Index Funds have been on the scene for decades. In the 80s people are buying CDs. By 1993 Gen X is day trading and buying into Mutual funds. Social Security is a net, and it is vital, and every person who works has paid into it. Those in higher brackets will never get the value of what they put into it; and those in lower brackets will receive more than they paid into it: so it goes. The average amount per month is 2k and change. And if one is single, retirement is especially difficult. I don’t know what best helps those struggling. I do know blaming others—they, whoever they is—won’t help. Blaming the self won’t help, either. Life throws curves.
