If I am right, people who did save are going to be subject to some pretty stiff taxes (yep-the rules on taxability of IRA's and 401K's can change).<br /><br />Uncertain times, indeed.<br /><br />LarryDiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715177301783698149.post-31178378694528167442010-06-26T18:00:10.051-07:002010-06-26T18:00:10.051-07:00Excellent post.

I like the separation into sentences--I think I heightens the impact by allowing the reader to think about what you're saying. Good Approach.. And the length is very comfortable.<br /><br />I am one of those poor planners who is relying on SS to get me through old age. I have no other programs, funds, accounts, or investments. It's mostly due to bad job choices as far as offering retirement funds. <br /><br /> In reality, can we rely on any of it. I keep hearing stories of people losing their nest eggs. Let's face it anything can happen. I'm not planning anything. So we'll see how this poor planning thingy goes for me as opposed to those who thought they had everything all set up for themselves.<br /><br /> We are living uncertain times.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
