At least to me. Of course Members of Congress and some other Federal employees don't have to worry about it.

Most people with common sense know not to rely on the government or social security. The baby boomer parents sent social security down the shitter. Ever heard of financial planning? I took the class a while back and since then I've been putting money into stocks, bonds and mutual funds. A great aunt of mine died when I was 19 and left me some money. It was right after I had taken classes such as financial planning...and I must say, that might have been one of the smartest moves I've made yet. Even though I'm still young, its refreshing to know the odds of me being broke on my ass when I'm old are dead against it. And to know I wont have to rely on social security, if it's even still around in some shape or form, is just as sweet.
