Social Insecurity
47 million people received over $410 billion from social security in 2003. 1 The Economic Policy Institute likes to say that we have 38 to 40+ years of prosperity with Social Security if it is left how it is. Someone must have forgot about the Baby Boomers. Someone must have not taken into account inflation. I received a letter from the social security administration telling me how much I will benefit from Social Security. Now Seeing how I am turning 30 in 2008, and will not likely see retirement for another 30 to 40 years, even the best case mythical scenario we are given today will not give me anything when I reach the age of retirement.
