The wife and I have been retired
for 14 years. Since the '60's
it's been obvious to anyone who
cared to look that it takes two
paychecks to live decently in
this country. AND, the wise
couple MUST put aside part of
those two incomes towards their
retired years.
Maybe it's the schools which
have failed the populace. I grew
up knowing Social Security as
devised by the Roosevelt admin.
was NEVER intended to foot all
the bills after a person leaves
the work force. It was a temporary
stop-gap for the elderly. And
most of the seniors today have
long outlived the age of their
grandparents! Wake up, America!
The government will never be able
to take care of you in your old age.
The sooner you realize you're on
your own, the sooner you'll stop
spending all your money and start
thinking about the future.
And for God's Sake, teach that
lesson to your kids!
Well stated!
