Well most citizens have children and grandchildren and should be interested in private accounts for the next generations who may not see any social security benefit. If not, it says something about them. A sad commentary indeed.
If you are younger, don't get physical, get political. This is your issue and this is the time for your voices to be heard. Take up the mantle and vote. Collectively, you have some clout. Use it!!
Last week...my husband and I had an appointment with our broker about some of our investments...
I talked to him about our kids, who are 27 and 30...and he said to have them start their own IRAs...and at 3000 per year...by their retirement it could be 1 million...
although by then, 1 million would be significantly less substantial than now...but, it is IMPERATIVE...rather than assuming Soc. Security would be there.
He said the only way he wouldn't suggest they do that...would be if their companys offer a MATCHING 401K.
