Wow, somebody got a bee in their turban...\n\nBush Sr. among many other ex-Party and current leadership all have small stakes in the form of mutual funds which in turn are heavily invested in many Middle-East construction and shipping companies.  It is indirect, but it is a clearly linear relationship.  Bush Sr. alone stands to make about $7 million in capital gains when the whole deal goes through (for 26 ports, not just the few in the US, which ironically are the least profitable).

I believe they would if they had to live off the very little given in social security...  But they don't worry about it, as they will never have to live off of the little over $600 a month (way below poverty level)...\n\nAlthough, people today use SS as a way to retire, when it was originally designed to help penioners back when it was created.  It wasn't meant as a sole income...

Well he never really has success with businesses, so I don't think he will do that.  I think he will mostly retire.  He might continue to be involved with foreign relations and investments, like his father has done.  I do see him taking up some causes.

Most people have been scared off of this half-baked ideas for various reasons.\n\nFirst, alot of people feel very uncomfortable giving the cornerstone of their retirement to the same people who stole the retirement accounts at Enron, Worldcom, etc.\n\nSecond, there were too many foolish promises made by the President, who said people could be as reckless as they wanted and still have some minimum guaranteed amount at retirement.\n\nMy personal feeling, however, is that the government has grown too addicted to skimming off of the Social Security collections in order to hide how much in debt we truly are. The government currently works with two sets of figures, the debt amount we admit to and the total debt we really owe which is much scarier.

10% unless he takes out equal payments over his life expectancy.  He could also roll it into an IRA.

I am afraid that they are right.\n\nIf you are buddies with the commissioner of the group, he may let you change things through him. \n\nJust a suggestion.

It depends on how determined they are to hold that job and stay out of trouble.

They borrowed money from a few sources.  It is intended to help them restructure.  If they restructure properly, then they should make money, and be able to pay back the money they borrowed.  \n\nThey are also hoping to buy out retirement plans like your husband's.  So far they have 38,000 takers.

Probably no copay, premium or deductible.  Yes, I believe they are covered for the rest of their lives.\n\nSo unfair.

They're probably living in Russia or maybe even America.  The $ that they earned most likely can provide for them for the rest of their life.

Thats probably cutting it close, however if you can pull it off, then you aren't too old.  Id say retirement age is definitely too old.
