The solution for Gen X like me is to get the hell out of USA if the entitlement issue is not solved in a way that is fair to us. There is absolute no need for Medicare to exist when 1 in 8 kids have no access to health care.

If there is no access to health care for the young and productive, there should be none for the old. It’s an investment in the future versus spending in delaying the inevitable (death).

The old in this country will end up poor anyway and alone if they keep on pushing it too far.

The most important thing is to start saving early and don’t stop and don’t withdraw any early. If you can’t afford to put in as much as you should then put in what you can, and increase it as soon as you can…

I agree, not knowing how much to save is both frustrating and anxiety provoking. I’d like to know who thought of this new system. Probably the heads of companies that wanted to get rid of their pension plans!
