Default Re: Entitled Selfishness: Good Newsweek article on the consquences of leaving SS as is..

Social Security can always be a touchy subject. I think those newly started on their career have a hard time understanding why they are giving part of their income every pay to a system that will potentially not even exist when they might need it. I'm middle of the road in my career, and still write this off as it would not exist when I retire. Everyone knows that in its current form, it will not work, but there is little being done to fix it. I know everyone will then say "make sure you vote for someone who will make the change" but it seems neither party gets anything done.

Sometimes in life, it is what it is, and I look at this more as a tax, then a potential retirement supplement. You take what life gives, and just add a little more to your own retirement to give yourself peace of mind for when you settle down.
