2. Framed Like A House...
In my case, why didn't they ask that question when Raygun began destroying the economy...making my generation earn less with inflation added than my parents and saw the industry I work in go from very healthy, locally owned industry into a corporate dump. Not to mention the "lost decade" we've gone through. I keep saying to myself no matter how bad things are, I'm grateful that President Obama is in charge and not Gramps or booooosh.

:hi:

4. If you include the possibility of ever retiring then I guess I would have to say yes.

Who out here will be able to 'plan ' for retirement as long as the thieves are allowed to raid the savings and investments of others with no consequences. The Maddofs of the world sit in stolen penthouses while the people that have had their accounts emptied, head off to Walmart for a job. Go figure!
