quote of the day
I'm concerned that our generation would face a shortage of funds for life after retirement. I don't think social insurance programs will be sustained as they are.

I really don't understand these people's attitude. Ever since pension accounts went online quite a while ago, you can log on to your account and it tells you exactly how much pension income you can expect to receive after age 65, based on your contributions to date. Why all the hysteria now?!
