Champion Moon Pie eaters? or RC Cola swiggers?
Having the excellent taste to appreciate the finer things in life, like RC Cola and Moon Pies, makes one a champion-type person.
Just don't stand too close to an open flame..
Deggesty Murphy Siding The last time I saw RC cola was in vending machines in western Wisconsin. How far back was that? Maybe I will remember to look for the beverage next month, when I am in the land where people know the right way to talk.

Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
We can get RC here in the upper reaches of NY state. I like it. Used to drink a fair amount whilst at USAF tech school at Chanute AFB.

Phoebe VetJust wait until all those people with self managed retirement savings retire. It will be an eye opener.
OH, I'm not so sure. Some of us having "self managed retirement savings" might just surprise you with our uncanny ability to actually take care of ourselves like free, independent adults. I'll start to find out in about 21 months and 18 days (but who's counting?) I'll let you know.
Yes, I will participate in Medicare and Social Security. It's not as if I was given much of a choice.

You cannot apply YOUR success across the board.
A person working in retail, houskeeping, or any other job that pays less than $20K cannot possibly put away enough money to support themselves in retirement.
I personally know a person who wiped her 401K out when she had a medical emergency. I know two other people who withdrew all of theirs to avoid bankruptcy after their job evaporated in the big recession.
A HUGE portion of the population will not have enough to sustain them more than a couple of years.

How would their situations turned out differently if they didn't have self managed retirement savings?

Exactly right. If Social Security is so great, why do people still even bother to put money away elsewhere for their old age?
Because some people have a less-than-prosperous retirement is a poor reason to foresee (wish?) bad luck for everybody else.
I'm not talking about Social Security, unless your plan is to eliminate it. I am talking about the demise of defined benefit pension plans.
I would make a wager with you, but neither of us will be around long enough to collect.
We don't have to wait; successful 401K retirements are all around us now, and have been for some time.
One problem with those defined-benefit plans is that they're only as good as the continuing health of the company. (Ask former Enron employees.) Another is, unscrupulous employers are given the opportunity to cheat by forcing people out before they become fully vested.
Of course, many people think other people -- never themselves -- are too stupid to make their own arrangements. There are whole governments based on that proposition.
And there are just as many people who will NEVER be able to retire.
We have taken this thread far enough off course. I quit.

Actually, with an infinite number of monkeys, at least one - and more accurately, many (technically, a likewise infinite number, but I digress . . . ) - will immediately start typing the Shakespearean plays !
And as for what the other monkeys are typing up ?
I'm convinced their output becomes credit reports . . . sure seems like portions of mine have been created that way (Employer A's name at Employer B's address for Employer C's time, credit accounts that I never actually opened mysteriously appeared after a bank merger, etc.), and these errors persisted though changed in details after I tried to correct them by the directed procedure. Fortunately, none of this nonsense adversely affected my credit score as far as I know, but still . . .

Isn't that "RoC Co'Cola"? (I think that's how Ray stevens sang it.)I saw RC as an option in a smaller local restaurant within the past year (I had Diet Rite); that is usually a sign of an establishment not worth frequenting again.
