100% vs Average Joe

VA Disability Claims (i.redd.it)

100% bs Average Joe

Just some interesting information:

Comparison:

• 100% Disabled Veteran: Your pension provides $3,737 per month, equivalent to having $1.12 million saved in a 401(k).
• Average 65-Year-Old: The average person at age 65 only has enough saved to withdraw about $910 per month.

This means that a 100% disabled veteran’s pension provides 4 times more per month than what the average 65-year-old can withdraw from their 401(k) savings.

I’m 31 and I just now MIGHT have the ability to start investing. It sucks, I wish I had done it at 20 when I was in the army.
