Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Generation X and Y: Do you plan on retiring?

I have faith in Social Security. I have no doubt that it will be there when I retire, which could be anywhere from 10-20 years from now.....since its projected to be fully funded through 2040.

I have also contributed to a private personal retirement fund for 25 years, with matching funds from employers, so SS will only be a very small percentage of my retirement income. I also wouldnt be upset if SS became means tested and I got less then I put in.

And after the baby boomers like me go to a better place, SS will be back on track with contributions meeting payouts....and its purpose to serve as a safety net will continue for those who are unwilling or unable to plan for their retirement.

I'm looking forward to retirement.....lots of things I would like to do.
