I couldn't agree more with you Blaine. I recently attended a speech given by Larry Fish who is the CEO of Citizens Financial Group and he talked specifically about social security and what needs to be done in the future. He also touched on topics such as medicare and retirement for our generation and current baby boomers(Our being anyone who isn't a baby boomer)...But, what I am returning to the forums for is my current state of dispair for our future. During my first semester in college, in my intro to accounting class my professor asked the class how many people balance their checkbooks each month. And balancing checkbooks doesn't just mean checks it means all your finances including savings and checking accounts since my generation likes our plastic cards. I was one of two people who raised their hands out of 60+ college students in the class. But, the other girl didn't even do her own. She had her mom do everything for her and even sent home reciepts to her mommy...
I guess my main point is that we as a country have a bleak outlook ahead for us.
