It's a shame people don't realize how that Ponzi Scheme works.
They all think they are getting their money back. If that were true, the Boomers' funds would be dried up before they hit 70 and their parents would have stopped receiving money even sooner (hooray inflation!). For every retired person getting SS, you need 6 or 7 paying into it. Never mind all the expansions over the years that have been put in place.
401(k)s are another scam and were designed to go along with your pension. They were never meant to be the sole vehicle for retirement. At this point, (((retirement))) looks like another of the 20th Century's great scams foisted onto the unsuspecting populace.
