[QUOTE="The Milkman, post: 1141928, member: 22760"] Well it is nice to hear that you were able to do that. Unfortunatley many of us could not do that, Not an excuse but with some guys dealing with expensive divorces , child support and myself with a handicapped son and starting at age 30 at UPS , some of us barely got by. I know many guys who all they did was bank their money, live at home for as long as they could, led a dull boring life for the sake of saving. Well good for them. When I started everything was laid out before me ..Wages, pension, medical..So upon starting UPS like many of us we were looking down the road to having a pension to help support us in our older yrs, by not having the so call advantage of the savers ,we have to do the best we can with what we have. I got into the 401 k and yes I saved some, but because of many reasons I could not put the max in yr after yr like others, so before judging others who in your eyes did not do exactly like you did and who was in a position to do so, walk in our shoes before casting judgement.:usaflag2: [/QUOTE]
