Today, Average salary is $50,000. Homes are well abouve $250,000. Cars are on average $20,000. Social Security? Well, let's just say if you don't have a 401K set up, you might be homeless when you go to retire. My bet is there will be no social security. We are funding todays seniors with our social security. Why do you think seniors are against placing Social security in a lockbox? Becuase they would be BROKE. And all I hear is Senior citizens complain about medicare and social security, this that, everything. But if you go to the casinos, who do see there the most? Senior citizens. I am sympathetic to a point. But seniors make life sound so horrible.
