Inflation was at it's highest in 40 years BEFORE the Russians attacked Ukraine - just saying.....

My real estate, stocks, U.S. inflation adjusting I series savings bonds and a new car are protected from inflation. My cash savings are not as well protected from inflation. It was worse in the 70’s and early 80’s.

These sanctions and boycotts might drive up prices further. More defense spending and refugee aid are additional burdens.

At 62 people talking about cutting Social Security and Medicare does not sound good to me. Many retirees rely on Social Security for more than half their retirement income. Some planned to work more years, but disabilities set in.

Inflation was rising at the highest rate we had seen in decades before Putin’s men put one foot in Ukraine. No one is spending more on defense and we have zero refugees.

Additionally the sanctions are monetary having to do with the Ruble. If we had a president who was shutting down the war through cutting off Putins finances through oil I would agree with you. Not one drop of oil has been stopped or slowed down except in American production.

Russian oil, gas and income through their sales is protected by Biden.

Don’t fall for the rhetoric.

The U.S. oil production dropped in the final year of Trump’s presidency due to the pandemic, shut downs, travel restrictions, cancelled vacation plans, and work from home. After the vaccine rollouts in 2021 (Biden years) oil demand increased, gasoline prices rose and oil companies started to increase production in America.

Supply disruptions caused by the war in Ukraine, sanctions and boycotts may increase inflation. Sanctions are resulting in some people refusing to buy Russian oil. Wars often increased inflation. These are the things economics professors know.

How Much of Your Retirement Income Will Come From Social Security? | The Motley Fool.


"Social Security benefits are supposed to replace around 40% of the income you earned while you were working. This means they aren't meant to be your sole source of support in retirement, with most financial experts recommending you'll need to replace 70% to 80% of what you made while you worked"


people need to prepare from a young age & not wait 'til after 40 to start saving for retirement

Nope - never said or supported such a thing.

Can you admit that the inflation rate was already at a 40 year high BEFORE any soldier stepped foot in Ukraine?

This is something an economic professor would know also. Also people who can read English would know it also.

Well if he cant blame Trump, blaming the Russians will just have to do otherwise he might have to take responsibility for his own actions.

Based on surveys I read, SSI provides over 50% of most people’s retirement income. The COLA raises were not always enough to keep up with inflation. At times the CPI underestimated housing and auto inflation. Some took early retirements without enough savings. Others had much at first, then lost due to bad investments. Inflation deflated the value of their FDIC insured accounts. Medicare did not cover certain expenses.

I have enough at age 62. Waiting until later to draw SSI. Can not give it all to the poor at this point as I can not work a job. When I die my heirs will collect whatever is left, or it will escheat to the state.

If you have a job, your wages should rise with inflation. You might have to change jobs if your employer is paying much less than the industry average.

Did the price of gasoline start rising as the Russians moved tanks to the Russian border? It rose more after the invasion started. Has the price of a ton of wheat gone up since the invasion? Why are people buying precious metals?
