    … that is what some rude caller named Pastis told us when we asked when we could expect a deposit to your account.

    If you have vacation time saved up, you can stop working a month before you die.

    True of too many Americans who haven’t saved adequately for retirement.

    You might end up working at 7-11 posthumously, Pig, not something to look forward to!

    Not that rare a misconception. A lot of people think they can work till they die, not realizing that would take a lot more luck than just being able to save a few measly dollars.

    But to make it perfectly clear, Pig….“We invested an additional $12 billion into community banks, because we know community banks are in the community, and understand the needs and desires of that community as well as the talent and capacity of community,”

    Always be considerate! Give your employer two weeks’ notice before you die. Also, the custodial staff would appreciate that you don’t die on the job.

    All I need is for Hugo Pinero to let me know when I’ll die, and I’ll retire a year before that.

    It’s never too late to start saving, put away a little nest egg and watch it grow.

    It can be hard to save when you are scrambling just to survive.

    Pretty much true for me, but I’ve inherited the family homestead and can live frugally. I see advice about saving tons of money, but it’s all directed at people who seem to think retirement includes going to Disney World or a cruise every year.

    Social Security is meant to be a supplemental plan for retirement. It is meant to help our elderly have dignity in old age. For some, that’s all they have and will need to work well into retirement. SS is a plan for the greater good of our Great Nation. It works.

    You mean Pig doesn’t owe ACME hundreds of dollars in administrative fees?

    How is it even possible to save money in a retirement plan without going into debt? ( A: Invest in “No Load” Mutual Funds )

    Pig, your investments are tied to hog futures. We’ll tell you when to retire, and where to go for processing — your account.
