Here's the regular non-age-adjusted version:<br /><br />http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000<br /><br />You could probably dig around, find the age restricted one. If you really, really want it, you could probably e-mail BLS, ask them to do the data sort for you, maybe.

More likely, sometime in the future inflation will wipe out a large amount of your savings and if a housing crash occurs a few years before your retirement and your savings were in real estate, you are DOOOOOMMMMed. Children are the best hope to live well in retirement in an uncertain economic environment as at least one of them will take care of you and you'll also be less depressed in old age. Also, not having imploding demographics is good for a country overall and brings economic stability as young people spend more than retirees. Preferably, you'll need to have an extended clan structure like in the Missile East with some members in varying Western countries so you can plan your escape just in case. uncle samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-6500347438634872682015-03-30T21:50:47.480-04:002015-03-30T21:50:47.480-04:00The only thing ACS cares enough to track about mem...The only thing ACS cares enough to track about members is who don't renew their membership.

Thus the downward trends starting last year and that one in the 70s and 80s where retirement plans and working for just one or a few companies was common, might have different causes. :Duncle samnoreply@blogger.com
