Scrimp and save your own retirement funds. 401(k), Roth, whatever. Gold and silver might be good ideas, too, considering the way our government is handling our currency, although a friend told me recently that if I was invested in gold, I should sell about half of it.
When SS runs out, it’s gonna be a world of hurt. Hopefully, government will get rid of the FICA tax at that time, but I’m probably hoping for too much.
Part of the problem, as I see it, is that if you put your money into any banking system it is at risk. That’s why many folks (like Russians) have been burned more than once and keep their things of value close at hand. It seem that anytime there is a pot of money big enough somebody’s going to try to steal it.
Put yourself in control.
What good will that do when the dollar is worth nothing?
I'm hedging my bets on guns, ammo, liquor and anything I can trade.
You're gonna need em all when it's all said and done.
Not a chance. They'll need FICA to pay for health care.
