Answer: We commend you on hoping to boost your bottom line, and it’s not too late to find a financial planner to help you, if you decide to go that route. “You’re in what I call the mad dash to retirement, during which people who might not have been paying sufficient attention to savings and investments start to turn on the savings afterburners,” says Jim Kinney, certified financial planner at Financial Pathways.

"While working as a Walmart greeter or Kroger's bagger are attractive options, consider opportunities in GRILF porn," says Dilling Deau, professional Uber driver and financial planner at Anditsgone, LLC.

How in the flying fuck do you only have $150k at 61 in a 401k??? Jesus Christ some people are dumb. On track depending on this inflation for $5-6M by 61. That's not including other business or monies we could obtain over 20 years. Not counting on it at all, but potential for $1-4M from family as well. To truly retire and enjoy it I'm guessing $10M is going to be needed for someone my age. $150k pfffft. You're fucked.
