You should pat yourself on the back. So what about the 95% of the population who hasn't saved. Ultra-silly girl, Can you see where they would be burdens (free riders) on society?
How about this...you take full responsibility for paying for EVERYTHING for your kids. No more tax breaks for dependents, no subsidized education. I'll save even more for my own retirement with the several thousand dollars per year I now give to you and your kids.

My friend...more childless people are prepared for the expenses of their old age than those with children. You're just dreaming. Go visit a nursing home. Most of the people there have children...children who aren't paying for their time in the home, and children who don't even visit them.
My wife and I will be in one of those fancy assisted living places when we can no longer deal with living at home. We'll be paying for it ourselves, along with our long-term care insurance policy. You see...we don't have to leave our estate to our children, so we'll be using all that money to live in comfort, instead of in some crappy nursing home.
Go see who's in your local nursing homes. Ask them about their children and when they came to visit last. Then, drop in on one of the big fancy places and see who's in them. You'll be surprised, I'm sure.
