Overlooked Retirement Dangers

I've added a new "overlooked retirement danger" to my collection on my Web site. Reading James Kunstler's book, The Long Emergency, reminded me how close we are to seeing real havoc caused here in suburbia by running out of cheap oil and natural gas.

Many folks of the Baby Boom Generation are starting to think about retiring. I'm certainly one of them. But, if you're not smart about your planning, one of the overlooked retirement dangers - or more than one - will sneak up and bite you in the butt!

Imagine settling in to your well-earned retirement in sunny southern Florida or Arizona or Texas and, after a few years, finding out that there's an oil embargo by the Iranians or OPEC and gas is unaffordable, so there's no way to drive to the store and there's no food at the store anyway! Read Kunstler's book and you'll see how this can happen.

Another overlooked retirement danger is this so-called War on Terror. It should be obvious that we're going to lose. Over the many years we have backed the kings and dictators who rule the countries of the Middle East, we have offended the pride and sovereignty of the common people there. And they're tired of the mega-rich assholes who are bleeding the oil wealth of their nations, leaving only crumbs for the common people. Since the U.S. stands behind the kings and military leaders that keep them from being free, they have found a way to strike back effectively at us. We call it terrorism, they call it jihad - "Holy War."

How can we win? The money we pay for their oil is, in part, siphoned off to support Osama bin Laden through a network of Saudi and other Islamic charities. We're paying to arm our enemies every time we fill up our Hummer or Escalade or Navigator! And for them, a suicide bomber is cheap. Our B-1 bombers and Abrams tanks are expensive.

Like I say, we can't win. Yet Bush and Cheney won't listen to reason, nor to the voice of the Americans who want an end to this growing war.

A retirement danger that many overlook is the eventuality that Al Qaeda will acquire one or more nuclear bombs and use them on American cities. Like I say - There is no winning this war.

I even reveal the original moneymaking at home business, which will really take off as we run out of oil and gas. See it here: www.defending-your-retirement.com/proven_income_opportunity.html
