I wish I could say the same about my parents. I don't think they we're exposed to any investor education until the late 80s. I have no doubt that I will be supporting them, which I'm glad to do. They deserve it. I just hope I don't have to support too many others their age. I'd have to send my kids to public school in that case.

....do you know why? They believed the American Dream that the BS government feed them, which was "all the money they put into the SSI they were going to get back" for retirement, their GOLDEN YEARS and of course they couldn't have known that that same government would allow the drug industry to rape them with the inflated cost of perscription drugs.

I have no doubt that I will be supporting them, which I'm glad to do. I am not even at retirement age, but I know plenty who are and belive me most of these people are living day to day. of course you won't know it, because they are to proud to let the very kids they supported for years know they have needs now.

They deserve it. Yes they do! Unlike some on this thread would have you believe, these were hard working people, who had very few vacations and invested any extra money into their kids, some of which are like the ungreatful x'ers on this thread.
