That's about it, and that's how the majority of people plan for
retirement.

Funny, I haven't heard much talk of "privatizing" Social Security
lately. I wonder why that is. ;-(


Savings and SS were the factors I used in planning retirement.
Never bought into the equity craze.


All of my planning for retirement has been under the assumption that SS
will be empty when I can start collecting. I look at any SS money I get
as icing on my cake.
