Unlike many others here, we are not wealthy, simply comfortable (so far). Did we plan for retirement? Yes. Did we plan for the economy to go south right along with our retirement? No.

We are in the same position. We did everything right to save for our retirement. We sacrificed and lead a humble lifestyle so we might be comfortable in our golden years. We took for granted that our government would be frugal and stable on their part.
Our government has failed us and now our sacrifices seem silly. Thinking back maybe we should have spent our equity and savings to frivolously live a grand lifestyle like our government obviously did.
