As senior managers, we took a 40% pay cut. (my wife’s employer went out of business in 2007 and she has resumed work at a 70% pay reduction) We have operated the company without profit since then, until this last spring as we are seeing a slight pulse to the economy.

No such assumption. I was asking for clarification. The bulk of Americans do not have proper savings. Social Security is a bottom safety net at best ponzi scheme, and at best there is a 50-50 chance of it being available in 10 years, so personal savings is needed. One of the big differences is that most Americans do not get a retirement plan, and certainly not one that is funded by the confiscation of others property under the threat of fines or imprisonment. What is the average age and income of just retired person who worked for the government and in the private sector?
