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?
