[QUOTE="Shiftless, post: 3365710, member: 47472"] Another tale of self infliction My buddy retired at 49 like I did Got a golden parachute to leave his job (I didnt) House was paid for and worth 1.3M On top of that had about 1.5 in monies/investments (not including the very large parachute) Already had a Pantera, and other cool cars. Single! No kids! Then investment choices bit him in the can! He started day trading (telling me come join in on these stocks/investments!) "Nah, I will stick with my plan" That worked its way down to penny stocks (penny stocks can make a killing you should do it!) "Thanks for the offer but I'm deep in my plan so no thanks" Then to maxed out credit cards ( a holes wont lower my annual % rate they dont understand I cant pay that) " Bummer Dude!" Finally lost his house (I should have listened to you he says) " I say, sorry for your loss" Now rents and lives in a bedroom and only income is SS taken at 62. BUT, he has kitchen privileges. Has aged him to look as tho he is in his late 70's and he just turned 63 WTF! [/QUOTE]
