That's why I am so enthused about these Personal Retirement Accounts Dubyuh's gonna introduce in his second term. For folks who still have a big part of their working lives ahead of them, we will be able to set aside a portion of our FICA to create Personal Retirement Trust Funds. As this becomes popular and the "portion of FICA" increases in the upcoming years, I would hope we will have the option of opting out of the present Social Security system altogether!! To tell you the truth, I really doubt a 41-year-old like myself will ever see a penny of my Social Security anyway...at least I sure ain't counting on it!!

If I had a choice, I would have certainly taken a personal retirement account. There is such resistance against it, but it would be nice to see it happen.
