MakeIt I pick my own stocks and do pretty good. I retired “early” and still manage my own investments daily. Kinda like a job, but no pinhead to report to.

MakeIt It has nothing to do with you're average working poor. The rich decide when they want to take their money. 401's are pretend retirement for working people. It's actually a way for the rich to take your money.

MakeIt horrible

MakeIt I've only seen this story five times. I can't wait til you guys post it 25 more.
