Why Aren'T You Saving More For Retirement

Why Aren’t You Saving More for Retirement? By Elton Camp Economists are giving a tongue-lashing Good sense of the public they’re trashing Unless much more for retirement you save You’ll have to work till you’re in your grave Company pensions went the way of the dodo Once they realized how much they would owe But most workers have to face wage stagnation From medical bills there is incredible inflation Housing costs get higher every day Food prices are going the same way College debts many will have to pay Until they’ve become old and gray Too much month for the money anyway How can they save for some future day?
