    But seniors should establish their own retirement plans beyond Social Security to ensure sufficient living funds, Cirksena said. “For retirees, the key takeaway is this: Social Security will change, but if you have a strong retirement plan that doesn’t rely on it entirely, you won’t be left scrambling.”

    Yeah, the people who are no longer working and who probably can’t find a job even if they wanted to should just establish their own retirement fund now. Presumably with all that money they pull from the magical money tree.

    Should people be establishing their own retirement plan before that point? Definitely. But what about the people who work hard for shitty employers who stiff them because they couldn’t find a better job elsewhere? I guess just fuck them, or something. /s

    Edit: Added a /s

      But did you pretty much say “just fuck them,” to a different group of people when you said, “Yeah, the people who are no longer working and who probably can’t find a job even if they wanted to should just establish their own retirement fund now. Presumably with all that money they pull from the magical money tree.”

      Sounds like you are all for certain groups of people getting fucked over, but not others.

      How about NO ONE get fucked over. That’d be better.

          So were you or were you not making fun of people on social security? Who, by the way, aren’t all old. Clarify.

            Good grief, I was not making fun of them. I feel like there’s either some trolling or some sort of a reading comprehension deficit going on here. And judging by the comment scores, I’m not alone in that suspicion.

              Ok, then clarify.

              And tho you may really like to watch upvotes/downvotes, I don’t care about them. So you were being “sarcastic” when talking about the people who are on social security, yet in the same comment you weren’t being sarcastic when talking about current workers.

              Is that what you are trying to get me to believe?
