October 7, 201213 yr Public service (teaching, firefighting, police work) doesn't count. Government is too big. Government has grown yet we have less teachers? Don't worry obamacare creates a lot of jobs for the IRS
October 7, 201213 yr I'm way better off than I was four years ago. Not even close. Life is great and getting better.
October 7, 201213 yr I'm way better off than I was four years ago. Not even close. Life is great and getting better.Quick question: Which specific Obama policies have made you better off the last four years?
October 7, 201213 yr That's just the leading edge of the baby boomer generation which includes those thru 1962 I believe, wouldn't have much effect, particularly when people are working longer. We've been hearing for 4 years that seniors are having to put off retirement. Now you're saying that isn't so? I don't know the answer to that but I was simply pointing out that it is very possible since the largest generation in American history has now beginning to or reached the retirement age that the labor force could absolutely be smaller than 2007.
October 7, 201213 yr Government has grown yet we have less teachers? Don't worry obamacare creates a lot of jobs for the IRS Public sector jobs are way down under Obama (less government jobs), where did you come up this?

So I am from that group of citizens and I know more who had hoped to or wanted to retire but couldn't for a number of reasons from adult children still living at home due to not being able to find a good paying job, to losing a boat load of savings from their 401K plans making it impossible to retire! I think if you look at the age group of those that are currently 60 to 65 years of age you won't find many who have retired or think they can retire anytime soon and if you look even deeper you will find many, many of those who are from the age of 65 to 70 working part time jobs to bring in some extra money not for luxuries but working to just to keep their heads above water! Just curious but what type of work are you into PP2 and you too 2 humped that life is so much better today, than four years ago? I have an idea but will wait until you both tell us what you both do to earn a buck!

I'm a compliance officer for a bank but I'm not sure what that has to do with the conversation.

Just curious more than anything else. Glad that both your parents were lucky enough and smart enough to retire and I wish them both the best, but have they fully retired or are either doing anything on the side, again just wondering?
