on retirement
“RETIREMENT”… with guaranteed income and/or a pension doesn’t exist in our country anymore.
And SOCIAL SECURITY simply isn’t enough.
The basic “contract” with workers and has been “broken”.
“Work long and hard and you will be guaranteed a financially secure “old age” and “retirement”.
Sorry, that’s an idea of the past.
Yet WHY is it that US postal workers, can retire at 55 years young?
And union Teamsters, who are guaranteed 75% of their working salaries after they retire – for the rest of their lives – WHY are so well taken care of?
While the rest of us hard-working schmos? We have to watch our retirement incomes ride the stock market’s frivolous roller coaster with our entire futures rising and falling on the growth or loss of our 401(k). It’s no different than reckless gambling! And we know… most gamblers lose. What kind of “retirement guarantee” is that?
NONE!
We deserve better.
And we better figure it out soooooooooooon!
