I didn't miss it as I am in exactly the same boat. Just as inconvenienced, just as burdened. They grow every year, regardless of how I behave.
And I am...
Just as concerned about my retirement as well.
What is the solution? Hope and pray that while I struggle to house, feed and educate my burgeoning family, that somehow a tax payer funded, governement managed entitlement will be available to make up the difference? I don't think that will be effective. Do you?
My deal about the pharma's...I have no problem with them inventing, researching, marketing and bring drugs to market. I have no problem with them making huge profits on their products. I have a problem with people believing that because something to save or prolong their life exists they have a RIGHT to it.
Hopefully, I will be able to do good things in the future to eleviate these concerns...if I fail, well...hopefully I will have raised a family able to care for my wife (she for sure will survive me), because I do not believe a federally managed entitlement is a viable alternative.
I'm at a loss. Not looking to argue or ruffle feathers. I'm calling it like I see it, and interested, as always, in learning.
