Yeah, these guys say (while keeping a straight face) that you need 2 million bucks to retire. Really? How about the 50% of folks who have substantially less than $2 million- namely, NOTHING except Social Security? Are they just supposed to do the only decent thing and die?
You just do the best you can, with what you got. Many won't be wintering in the south of France, but wintering in the north of Dakota is nearly as much fun, "nearly" being a relative term.
And then there's the guys who write to the Sunday paper columnist, "Ask Dweezil about Retirement" with such cutting edge problems as: "I have $2 million in my 401K, and don't need to draw any of it. But when I turn 70 1/2, I have to start drawing it, and the required withdrawal amount will be so high that it will make all of my Social Security taxable. What can I do?" (actual letter in last Sunday's paper). My answer would be, "Maybe you could just shut up. Why don't you do the honorable thing and just never draw Social Security at all? If you don't draw it, its not taxable. You don't need it, and the country is going broke. And you're complaining because its taxed? You'd b!tch if you were hung with a new rope!"

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
