🎙️💰 You Saved Enough to Retire. So Why Can't You?

Uh, so some of the things that we, we've built, you know, of course taking money from the 401(k)s and all of that.

One of the, one of the strangest things that have happened, of course, with the government employees, right? They were "hey, asked to retire," and a lot of them are being asked back, which is, is a whole nother story.

But they were asked to retire.

A lot of them took it.

A lot of them were 57, 58, possibly 60 years old.

That's pre-Social Security.

And of course-

Mm

... there's a, there's a gap there between, you know, "Hey, I gotta get my health insurance." But, like, those individuals, I've had, I've had several, uh, from a clientele perspective, and they, and they, they say the same thing like, "Okay, I'm going back to work.

Not a problem." 'Cause they can still work.

They still wanna work.

They're still making really good money.

Oh, and by the way, I'm taking my government pension as well.

So they get, they're double dipping.

[laughs]

They're double dipping-

Right

... and they're getting health insurance.

But for those who don't get the health insurance and don't double-dip, they're fa- they're, they're seeing that, oh my God, these, these insurance premiums are out of control.

You know what I mean? And that's what people don't understand, because when you get to Medicare, I mean, those...

I know we're used to higher pre- premiums as, as, as, as workers, but those premiums are, are rather low, much lower than we're, we're we've always come to know.

That's just, I mean, from what I've seen.

Yeah.

Yeah, definitely.

Yeah.
