I pay 100k a year in tax+healthcare+retirement, and my health care doesn’t even cover a drat thing until I spend at least $3k. after that they only cover 80%. give me socialized healthcare any day of the week.

tk posted:Retirement savings is not something that you pay. 401ks as a replacement for a robust socialized system of elder care and pensions as well as the tax implications of contributing or not contributing make it a wash mentally for me. I get that is an unorthodox view, but in my case I’d gladly give up preferential tax treatment for a wider social safety net. I also view it as a tax in the sense that without contributing to my retirement plan in the US, I’m setting myself up to be somewhat destitute in my final years. in other places this wouldn’t be as major of a concern to me.

at best that “savings” we are gonna quibble about is $20k. I am only including retirement savings that are directly deducted from my paycheck that also reduce my the amount of taxes I pay on my income. now I will go to the mat on this as I have lived and paid into various systems for stints overseas, and argue that the messed up system around social welfare in the US makes it a “shadow” tax as I have to go out of my way to have more savings but I get that is too far for some of y’all. The point I’m trying to make is that it’s not all sunshine and rainbows over here. I still pay 80k a year in tax + healthcare and have a $3k deductible before they pay for anything. I went to a primary care doc for a minor medical thing, which will probably cost $200, and I need follow up imaging, which based on previous times will cost me $1000? If I had something real bad I’m looking at $12k out of pocket until I hit my max for the year. so yeah it’s cheaper per month, but my point of use charges are much higher and I still could get a huge $12k bill out of no where. give me socialized medicine. please.

My "career" only picked up in earnest about five years ago (I'm like 33 now) and I've got a decent amount socked away in my 401k, but I don't trust it for a loving second. Like "whoops wall street got too horny and gambled it all away good luck rear end in a top hat". At this point in history I feel like "preparing for societal collapse" is a better retirement plan.

If money market funds lose all their value, you will have more immediate problems than losing your retirement, such as the imminent collapse of the nation.
