Need to show some responsibility and save for yourself, as my parents did, and they were not wealthy by any definition. SS was designed as a safety net, not a retirement plan.<br /><br />No comment on the French strike since I am not aware of the promises made over there, referring solely to SS as it was defined in America.Figlessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-34221327174527756082010-10-10T19:55:50.739-04:002010-10-10T19:55:50.739-04:00Alan,
