oh yeah, ive seen that happen! i was rather shocked when i saw it and figured out what was going on...shouldnt that equate to some sort of fraud??

and as far as the elderly, not everyone had the type of job that offers a decent retirement. i am black and live in the south. not that it matters much, but where i live it makes a difference. my grandmother was a cook in a kitchen for 40 years. she had 8 children. in the small town she lives in, there were no decent jobs for blacks in the 30's and 40's. you cant very well move with 8 children either. especially since all 3 of their fathers were deceased (dont ask, cause i dont know!!) there was no 401k, stock options, etc.

i think the elderly in the next decade coming up will do better and better. but there is still a group who will never be able to make it, no matter what kind of preparation was done.
