Ironically the reason many do not save enough for retirement is that they believe that the government will save them through Social Security, which is a cruel hoax. If the only purpose of Social Security is to force saving for retirement then it should be scrapped immediately and converted completely to mandatory private saving accounts.
it should be but it won't.....too many ignorant and scared people out there......once you start a program you almost can never get rid of it.........best thing to do is try and move towards some personal accounts.......and you are right about people thinking SS is gonna save them and more so they just don't think about it......it is the fast living lifestyle of many Americans.......
