    There are people I know who are my age who make more money than I make, some make less but they have little to no money saved for their retirement. Many of these people have been on fabulous family vacations, and many of them drive really nice cars, far nicer than any car I've owned, yet they've saved next to nothing for their retirement years.

    Why the fuck should I have to pay more in SS taxes so that I can subsidize these people? I've intentionally never purchased a new car. Every car I've owned I've driven for at least 10 years, some of them longer. I had a 4Runner that finally had to get rid of that I had for 20 years, as a family we haven't done the weeks long vacation to Hawaii or Europe because it's too damn expensive to take a family of 5 on that kind of vacation and I'd rather put that money toward my retirement and the kids college.

    So why is it that people like me, who have done without and saved are going to punished in order to subsidize the people who didn't save? Fuck that and fuck Bernie.

    Chinned cause we're 4 Runner Bros!! I've got a 2006 (4th Gen) with only 90K on it. That fucker's gonna go, at least, another 10 years.

    Don't see that many 20 to 30 year old Jeeps out on the road now do ya @Swaye ?


    1995 350K miles. Never had any major engine work. Would have kept it but I needed a new master brake cylinder and Toyota no longer makes them. I was going to get one from a wrecking yard but no garage would put it in for me because of the liability issues, fucking lawyers, so I was either going to have to do it myself or get some pirate garage to do it for me. Wife talked me into getting rid of it. It was originally her car before we had even met and older than all of my kids.

    How the hell did you put so few miles on your 2006? Obviously not your primary car. I retired the 4Runner from primary car about 5 years before I got rid of it but I loved that car so much I still drove it all the time, mostly hauling kids to baseball games.

    Never have had a commute longer 6.5 miles in / out and now I work from home mostly. My wife's car (she works remote too) is 3.5 years old and only has 16,000 miles.
    They are damn good cars. You'll easily get 250K on it. I like the old body style better than the newer versions. This wasn't my car but its the exact same color with the same markings


    I can't fit in the 3rd gen and earlier ones is the only problem. I'm way too tall. Event the 4th and 5th gen which are a bit bigger are still cramped on me. I don't want anything bigger because it's a pain in the ass in the city for parking.
    I’m a tiny wee man. I can fit in anything.
    Which makes your old fart C2 times all the more impressive. Tiny, wee men are at a major disadvantage here.
    OK...maybe i’m not so wee.

    I have a 2016 3/4 ton diesel with 8,000 on it.

    A diesel 4Runner? I didn't even know they made a diesel. And mine was actually a 1995, I corrected it.
    No 3/4 Crew Cab truck.
    Now that's a rig. You use it for work or just fun?
    Only fun. I barley work. And when I do I certainly don’t need a truck.
    But do you get a one week vacation every year?

    I drive a sensible 2015 Nissan Sentra that gets 36.7 miles to the gallon on average. Not that I ever pay for gas. Or insurance. Or maintenance

    But I don't just preach the green lifestyle, I live it

    If I have AC and bluetooth I'm happy. Easy to please

    Race..man of the people.

    Pussy. I'd a figured you for a 1 ton fella.
    In THIS economy?
    Well, my #1 Trump lovin', retired engineer know-it-all, father-in-law tells me modern diesels are shit anyway unless you use them for long hauls only. Sounds like the guvmint regs have fucked them all up.
    Well, I use it for long hauls only.... You FIL sounds like a prick though.
    He's a terrific FIL, but an opinionated SOB. He'd fit in pretty well here.
    So a prick...
    Yep. He makes me look like flamin' left winger. It's almost kind of like Archie and Meathead sometimes, except I'm the one calling him a dumb pollack and/or greasy slav.

    Good thing I'm not either. However I'm able to max my 401k, max my IRA (can't do Roth), go on a week long vacation every year (this year cruise to Belize), and get a new car every 3 years. So I guess I'm not poor and whiney. Just lazy.
    You can do a Roth. You’re just top fucking stupid to figure it out.

    And if you really owned a company (S corp or LLC) you wouldn’t worry about a 401k max because you’d a have defined benefit plan that has a limit three times a 401k. But you’re a dumbshit and don’t know this, which leads me to believe you don’t own a business. Dipshit.

    You’re poor and whiney.
    I do own a business in Montana. But that's my side gig, it's a tax write off, not income producing directly to me.

    My main job I have a 401k. And yes when I become an owner, the limits change. I do put into a Roth 401k through work. I am not able to do a Roth outside of work.

    But you sound angry mike. Why be angry. We are just getting along.
    You can do a Roth but are too stupid to figure out the Roth. Got it.

    If you’re owner in you “side gig” then you can do a defined benefit plan. You need a better accountant. Dumb shit.

    LOL at having a w2 job at a place you don’t own. Hondo is big time! No wonder he’s a leftist.
    Trash talk because I don't have a retirement plan through my side gig? El oh el Mike. Why so angry?

    Regardless of your side gig, you could do a Roth, dumbass. Also my yes if your side gig is real, you’d fund retirement through it rather than the limits of your employer (LOL) 401k. You likely don’t have enough money though.

    That is very true, I don't have enough money to fund more retirement. I should. But I spend it. I also have investments in a couple tech companies thru the IRS section 1202 exclusion.

    Also, look up the rules on the Roth.
