Around the globe, countries are facing a harsh fact. They are finding it difficult to provide retirement benefits to their people. Come 2009, US will be having the greatest number of people retiring at the same time.
With this in view, do you think we are moving towards a future of bankruptcy for the old folks?

I think it is a harsh reality as the population lives longer lives that eventually the retirement benefits will either dry up or dwindle. I think it is up to us to put a little aside ourselves for when the day comes as we can't rely on the government.
