Alot of above mentioned friends are using the additional cash to go on wine tours of France. Does anyone thing it would be rude 30yrs down the road when they have no money saved and are complaining about the miniscule amount from social security and that they can't afford their prescription drugs to tell them "I told you so?".

....I know exactly what you're talking about here...it's the old fable of the grasshopper and the ant all over again...the problem is there's a hell of a lot of those grasshoppers out there and they got the vote....I expect they'll find a way to avoid eating a meal at the table of consequences.....

Good luck to everybody, especially us ants!

Nah, they'll be taking your saved money in the form of increased taxes to make up for their freespending ways now. Either way, you pay. You suck it up now...AND you'll suck it up later. Meanwhile, they get all the cool stuff now and stick the bills to someone else later. Isn't it good to be an ant?
