There is nobody on Earth I know who enjoys taking a needle and jabbing their eyeballs. I also don’t know anybody who takes pleasure in dropping a dumbbell on their bare toes. Doing either of these things is completely irrational. Given not saving is like jabbing your eyeballs with needles, it’s safe to say that [...]

Don’t believe media schadenfreude as they drone on about how we aren’t making or saving enough money to live a comfortable retirement.
