I was going to preface this post with some thoughts but, knowing my thoughts about the job our government is doing, the post would have to go into the “In My Opinion” category.
I am giving you these links to peruse, but please start following some of the links and Vote where you can. The Votes results are “interesting” – some of the results may be depressing, but I was puzzled by answers like “I have no retirement savings” and “I don’t know”. If you are giving the same answers please let me know – I am curious about my audience and what their needs are.

Up the road I will no doubt be commenting on the idea of a PRPP program.
