Re: Medicare and Social Security
Generations that came before created the institutions we're talking about, and have benefited from the boomers paychecks. promises were made to late boomers and those that came later, those promises won't be kept, not in full if at all, agreed. Boomers may have been the naive do-gooders but only part of the problem. GenX-they've played a role as well-who played the housing market with all the low/no doc loans?
I see the late boomers/early genX being caught in the transition point from what was to what is coming, yes. See my sig. At least the nothing that we end up with will be transportable. All the more reason to have Roth account, as a priority over fully funding tsp catchup, when $ don't stretch to fully cover both.
