(34,618 posts)64. I'll probably see my retirement accounts tank like I saw in 2008. Obama saved my
TIAA-CREFF account. I was looking at putting off retirement for 7-10 years and I am worried the same thing will happen under Romney. Why not? Romney/Ryan is nothing but Shrub on steroids, so my retirement will vanish in 4 years instead of 8. Oh, goody. And even though I am 57 and supposedly "safe", I am sure my SS & Medicare will vanish. My husband will probably lose his Medicaid that is helping pay for his nursing home, which will either devastate us financially or will force us to divorce after almost 30 years of marriage. Grim, grim, grim.
