I honestly just don't have enough in my retirement account. Without a promotion and a major raise, (I'm in that group of employees that seem to always be overlooked for promotions) there isn't much I can do about that at this point. I can't afford to put much in it since I live paycheck to paycheck. My 401k I'm not even considering at this point. I will be dependent on Social Security and who knows what's going to happen to that. It's just all kind of hopeless.

Maybe it's time to look for another job. Or get things paid for before retiring. Or work part time after retirement. Talk to a financial adviser and see if there's anyway to grow that money faster, without huge risk.There are options.
