I'll be working pretty much until I die. :w00t: Forget social [in]security, the government has already spent every penny you paid in and when that ran out they borrowed and printed 1000 times more than that.

The good thing is that if you have been consistently working on the leading edge in your field (i.e. Database-Software design & dev) and have continually built upon your skills over the years and are up on latest tools and languages you will always be in demand (somewhere).

I've been saving, but not as much as I should have ... considering how much money has been being printed and how massive government spending is. The course has been laid in and the "Titanic" is well on it way to its final destiny.
