I don't think most people include the 230 grain option in their retirement plans.It sounds a lot like my grandmother.
She was so far to the Right that when FDR made SS mandatory, she didn't sign up.
Fast-forward four decades to the time she was no longer able to work.
She literally died from shame when the family discovered her decision.
If you think you don't need government, I hope you're better at financial planning than my grandmother was.
I have no great interest in surviving beyond my useful years if I can't afford to deal with my own finances. To that end, I have put aside 1 round of 230 grain jacketed hollowpoint ammunition in .45ACP with my initials engraved on the casing. THAT is my plan.
You might be defining "useful years" to narrowly.
I'm finding that I can be far more useful to society after retirement from a regular job.
I also suspect you would have less need of that hollowpoint if your retirement funds were not under the complete control of Wall Street. Even when you factor in the current level of corruption in government, those working for the state aren't smart enough to steal as much from you as the FIRE sector can.
And they've only become bigger and smarter and more arrogant since November of 2008.
