You know you are responsible for everything?

Everyone working today is working to pay your pension and social security while little or nothing is guaranteed for them when [[if) they retire.

Sure, it's east to sit back and bitch about your 40 year old moving back home because he or she can't find a job but what about that pension you have been receiving for the past 25 years? Somebody has to pay for it.

How could companies and governments have been so shortsighted to promise these things 50-60 years ago with no plan to pay for them in place except keep making more money.

So, now we go to work to pay for those who don't work anymore all while not being able to save enough to retire ourselves and who knows what will happen for the next generation.

Those receiving pensions will slowly pass and companies will slowly begin to make more profits because of the lack of legacy costs. Will they bring back 401k matching? Will they bring back pensions? Will they do nothing and keep all the profits?
