[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a nanny and if I wait until I’m 70, I’ll get $2750 a month. I regret working for a very long term family who had me work half on/off the books, because they were the only thing me who benefitted from that arrangement. I made the same in cash after taxes. Ah well. I was young and dumb! I will have to wait until 70 to collect. I have about $250k in savings, my shitty condo is paid off, and will likely inherit 1-2 million. Im single and never married, wish I’d gone to college or had a job with a pension or benefits. I’ll be okay, but poor.[/quote]

I'm sorry you made a mistake while you, but maybe do your budget and see if you can retire a bit younger if you want to.  If you'll inherit 1-2 million, the income from that plus Social Security in a paid off condo might make it possible.

You know, I went to college and even got a grad degree and quit soon after to have kids.  I regret it sometimes, but the difference we've made in kids' lives (I also have worked as a pre-school teacher) really does mean something, even if it's not something people talk about much.  [/quote]
