I don’t get any. Social Security will be gone by the time I get there. Medicare/Medicaid will be gone. I have a 401(K). Never been on any form of welfare. Provide for myself. Not judging though, just stating facts. I just don’t see why the government should be involved in affairs of personal responsibility.

You know...that is what I though a while ago... I had two nice 401K plans with lots of money (over a million total) and thought I had it made. Well, the abrupt downturn wiped me out not just figuratively, but realistically. Lost almost all of it except for about 60 thousand...geez.

Now I have to survive on Social Security and am glad it is still available - although maybe not for long. Not feeling all that secure about my son’s 401K at this time...and I doubt that Social Security will be viable in the future.

So...I live as I can, knowing that 401K plans are just as bogus as Social Security... You just have to be lucky and get out at the right time I guess...
