By the way, GenXteacher, I agree. My youngest brother is also a teacher - he qualifies for the Gen. Y group. My other younger brother (the middle guy) only just a few months ago, finally got a really good job that loves him and pays him well, and is a job he may be able to have for life - time will tell. I’m happy for them as they have kids and wives. I always planned to work till I was dead, just because I’m a work-a-holic like my dad. I have to stay busy. But our future scares me some. If something were to happen to our health when we get up there in age, and we couldn’t work, there won’t be anything for us - no Medicaid or Medicare, no social security, no nothing. And by the way, to the others who commented on here, not all of us voted that way!

I try to look at it from my grandfather’s perspective. He was a few years older than I am now when Social Security was first introduced. He figured he’d work as long as he could, and trust to God’s providence about the rest. I don’t expect much, and therefore, won’t be disappointed.
