Does a lifetime of work entitle on to financial security in old age?

No, not really.

the key word here is "ENTITLE" - I hate entitlements but I can also read my paycheck stub and I see how much Social Security gets taken out every 2 weeks and that's NOT an entitlement, it's my money that's going into the FEDERAL BANK and they don't even let me decide if it can be put into a saving account and earn interest!
