Yes, I have successfully reached retirement after a long life of work, and I always lived frugally and invested at least 15% of my earnings. I did everything the most responsible financial planners suggested and I am not in the least little bit ashamed of all that.
From the time of Eisenhower to present I have always been a Moderate Democrat, and I think I will probably be one until I die. The overarching motive in my life has been inclusion: I want everybody to get to play, to enjoy success, to find love, etc. I know they won't all make the right choices, because some people are stupid, some are selfish, some are gullible. But everybody should have a chance.
