...and I know that.

Problem is, most don't know that. And some put bare minimum into Social Security, my father died at 58 and my mom barely gets anything due to his limited contributions. His accountant was the one who forced him to put money in. The only reason we own two homes (technically I have a third, but I won't count Ark7 as an ownership) was because of me forcing to make long term investments.

Most just look at the near term and I get it. However, you still should put money away for longer term for yourself or family.
