Thread: Lack of accountability, Sky News discusses that women are at greater risk of not meeting retirement goals

None of the three said it was their own fault that they have limited savings. One goes as far as to blame men, that retirement savings is in the mans world
Im like what?

I imagine we will be seeing many more stories like this with the marriage rates plummeting

My heart's just bleeding allover the place, I'm in tears, the empathy has lodged a bone in my throat, my legs are numb and I feel as if I'm going to pass out!

(((THUMP)))...

I wonder how many pairs of shoes they own or spent on outfits they only worn a couple of times.
How many financially savvy men they rejected in favour of chad.

I know they were going to end up single, lonely and depressed but we can now add broke to that list as well.

Sorry, but I’m older than those bints and I knew about pensions BEFORE leaving school at the ripe old age of 17. The only reason I can think of for their comments is because they didn’t care because they’re women and will be looked after by men.

One of them put it perfectly: “We’re living in the here and now.”

Yes indeed, that’s the case with so many women – no eye on the future.

This is what allows them to spend the hubby’s money on garbage.
This is what allows them to get shagged senseless by Chad while hubby’s home looking after the kids.
This is what allows them to do whatever the hell they like and believe that they are entitled to do so.

Because they’re living in the here and now.

Gratify me now. Feed my momentary desires. It’s all about me, ME ME ME ME!

Lol Australia is a man hating land, this is par for the course.

Hope the blokes there leave them to rot in self inflicted porverty

I can just about picture the headlines in another twenty years: "Sixty percent of female retirees are living below the poverty line, society has failed them." The next day: "Forty percent of men who have retired have failed to adequately save during their working years."

Nothing is ever a woman's fault. It's always a man's fault. One thing I noticed is women have their noses in the air and always say "When I'm wrong , I OWN IT". No they don't. That's just a thing they say to bait you.

Here is what I say to women nowadays that ask me for anything! NO!!! Remember all those hot guys that were better than me and more attractive ? Look at them as better and more attractive options when you need help. Fuck off.

Most women do not have a clue about the value of money, it wasn't them that worked hard to earn it.

Yes, shoes. Why does anyone need 8 pairs of red shoes? And red is not a primary colour they wear...

War Paint, or make up..... That shit is expensive and heaps of it lands on the bathroom floor.... Perfume is the next level up in prices...

Joanna, the one on the right... I wonder how much expensive fast food or sweets she eats? Both low value for the money spent. And all the expensive weight loss programs are geared for women. Cook healthy at home, much cheaper than take out. Simple things, buy whole onions in the produce section and slice and dice yourself much cheaper than frozen diced onions (women love these). Even better grow your own if you can.

I find if I pay cash and count out the money to pay I think about how much it is costing... Women love the card, just tap and go or it's logged in the phone.... A $2 purchase is the same as a $200 or $2k purchase..... I will fight to the last breath to use cash.

Cheaper to rent than to own. P2P may have some mileage but you aren't paying for that daily maintenance... And the daily maintenance continues after you retire or your income stops.

Modern women are not married to men. They are married to government.

Since they have gotten the vote, they have turned to the government to calm every fear and solve every problem, real or imaginary.

And how does government respond? By spending money.

Whose money? Men's money.

Even if you are single, your tax dollars are supporting one single mother on the dole and one old widow who will outlive here husband by 7-10 years and collect on his Social Security and pension survivor benefits.

When "career women" get tired of working at 30, they look for a beta male provider.

When "career women" can't get that "early retirement plan," and actually have to work 40 years before retiring - like men do - and have not saved and invested enough, they will get the money from the government.

And government will do more for old, financially strapped women than it ever did for male veterans and indigent old men.

And they will do it by taking away money from male retirees who scrimped and saved enough for their old age.

And they will punish well-to-do bachelors with targeted taxes.

Targeting men will be difficult when men can identify as women.

Getting together with a rich man IS most women's retirement plan, and there are only so many rich dudes to go around. Plus, a lot of rich men have seen through woman's economic exploitation and have dropped out. Some have gone MGTOW while others are non-acronym MGTOW (they've dropped out but haven't heard of MGTOW).

To boot, the pay for a lot of once-respected professions has gone into the toilet. It's way too complex to outline in a short paragraph why this is so, but trust me, it is. You could once support a whole family on the income from a blue collar job such as a butcher. Those days are gone.

I used to work in investment management and there is a ton of literature and marketing targeted specifically at women. And....it doesn't work. In the back of almost every woman's mind is that someone is going to come along and have enough money saved for retirement and can float her.

Nobody told me. Right.

Somebody who was young and hot wasn't listening.

Sex And The City: Carrie's 13 Best Pairs Of Shoes (& What They Cost Today)


[COLOR=var(--theme-col-txt-snippet)][COLOR=var(--col-grey-dark)]Mar 30, 2022[/COLOR]"I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoes!" bemoaned Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex And The City episode when she realized she couldn't afford to buy her apartment back from Aidan because the writer had no money. She did, however, have a $40,000 designer shoe collection — a moment that lives rent-free in fans' heads when Carrie found out.

She figured out that she did not have $40,000 in the bank to use as a down payment for an apartment because she had bought at least 100 pairs of $400 shoes. [/COLOR]


Why did the Powers that Be create the perfect storm of working single women and working married women, then give them high interest credit cards? Because women spend and men save...at least men used to.

That combination of young women and credit is like giving a machine gun to a chimpanzee.

See that's the problem. Why do you need to have a conversation about it? Its logical to save money for a rainy day. Save for your future! I mean how many examples do we need how dumb and illogical most women are?

But instead that 100th pair of shoes look really good don't they? Haha this is really making me laugh

Women aren’t meeting retirement goals and wealthy men aren’t getting married. Sounds good.

Financial illiterates come in both genders. Lot's of them too. Unbelievable how many people don't have any financial sense. I see examples of it all the time.

Many women are prone to living for today. That the money just comes from someone else.
It's a double whammy for them. Financial ignorance. Their need to spend. Perfect storm for being broke.

Not so strong. Not so independent after all. Sucks to be them.

Farmers think 12 months ahead, tree farmers think 20 years ahead. The average financial illiterate can't outmatch a clam's foresight when it comes to thinking ahead.

To expand on what I said about government's penchant for robbing the productive to subsidize the unproductive:

That single mother led family is a little crime factory.

The single most important factor in whether the child will wind up in prison is a father figure who is present in that child's life.

Single mothers ensure that no social worker, welfare worker, school guidance counselor, school cop, security officer, truant officer, probation officer, cop, prosecutor, defense attorney, judge, prison guard, parole officer, drug rehab counselor, emergency room staff, ambulance driver, or undertaker will lack for employment.
