Wonderful advice. It's scary to think that if one had saved $600k & retired right now, what would a dollar be worth in 20 years - a quarter?

p.s. As a teen of the '60's, your description of the youth of today's view of the Gubmen is about what it was then - for a minute I thought you were describing a normal, healthy attitude!

That *is* the normal, healthy attitude- it doesn't matter which generation a person's born in. It's sad, but true. No conspiracy theories needed.

I saw a story yesterday on Fox News though. Quite worrying. It said that although many might be able to squeak through retirement by the skin of their teeth, this will be a generation in which a lot of poeple who worked their entire lives will have little or nothing to bequeath to their children upon their passing. In past generations, the death of parents, in addition to sorrow, often meant a nice inheritance. I'm wondering without this nest-egg to get started with whether the next generation will stumble.

My feeling is that many of the "recession generation" will *not* stumble financially precisely because they realize that everything is up to them- many don't have a nice inheritance or other kind of nest egg to rely on, they may not be able to access financial help from friends/family, they are already in debt from college (if they could even afford to go) and the job market is horrendous in most areas/industries. Many have also seen what can happen to one's wealth/savings: in an instant it can disappear.
I think this generation in particular is shouldering a disproportionate amount of fear, anxiety, depression, and apathy towards the government and its policies.
All of this I think will affect their financial decisions, that is if they are able to find decent work...
It's scary out there for a large population of younger Americans.
