Social Insecurity by Harry Goldstein
Published November 10, 1997

	It's hard to get fired up about social security retirement benefits when you've got forty years worth of working for the man staring you in the face. But what if the man staring you in the face is your man, your old man? And he's counting on a little nest egg the government says he's entitled to by law. The one he's paid into his whole life, and the one you're paying into today. How are you going to take care of your parents when they get old?
	Maybe you're thinking about starting a family of your own in the not-so-distant future. Do you want to burden your kids with the costs associated with getting old? Do you want to retire in relative comfort? Are you convinced that Social Security isn't going to be around for you when it's time for you to retire? Are you pissed off at seeing 6.2% of your hard earned wages going to some oldster trust fund — money you'll never see again?
	If these questions weigh on you every time you look at your pay stub, then maybe it's time to think about these questions in a different way — and do some research. NEXT
