I'm not really up on politics, but isn't our generations social security already getting sucked up by our grandparent's generation since the Bush Admin. has been pulling cash out of SS to fund the war? It's cool that my grandmother has money to fall back on, but will my money be there by the time I'm ready to move to Ft. Lauderdale and drive golf carts? I too think that you should only have to pay into SS if you really want to. Now that I'm in my 30's and have kids, I'm realizing how important retirement funds and life insurance are. I wish I would have learned more and started sooner, but there's no time like the present. It would be nice to keep that chunk that gets robbed out of my paychecks for SS (aka- war funds) and invest it the best way I see fit. Just hearing about the privatizing of SS makes me sick. I don't like the idea of other people making money from investing my hard earned cash when I won't be reapig the rewards of their investing as well.
