Granted. Unfortunately, two weeks after you retire, the US attacks Iran. The resultant World War and $200/bbl of oil causes hyperinflation and widespread fuel and food shortages. The US government and economy collapses paving the way for the North American Union. When they finally allow dollars to be exchanged for Ameros, your savings is exchanged at 100/1 ratio dollars/Ameros. Your nest egg fortune loses 90% of it's value forcing you to take a greeter's job at Walmart part time for minimum wage.
I wish I could see Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld convicted of War Crimes.
