"My wife and i have 300k in [the bank] ...i'm embarrassed for not planning [for retIrement] ..." Oh, the agenda is overt enough.

Google news runs these types of poor-mouth, oh-pity-me articles, about weekly.  Seriously, people, somehow manage to / have to retire on alot less.  Frankly, can't help but to suspect, there's an agenda going on here.  The intention is overtly to stirr up - among the other 80-some percent of americans - covetousness, along with its life-partner, resentment.  Come on, already!  Any one (or couple) who managed to save 300k - and other assets, besides - obviously made some sort of long-term plans.   Guess mr. wants-to-retIre hasn't been worldling enough :/

Anyway, guess i'll go cry him a river :)
