[quote=Anonymous]We were poor growing up and our parents still struggle. There is nothing that encourages saving like watching someone you love, in their 80s and without savings, as they choose between medicine and food... or having to work long past when they could comfortably do so. We help our parents out so it's not that dire for them now. But we never, EVER want to end up that way or to burden our kids with our care, if we can at all help it. If you need motivation to save, just go to the nearest medicare facility or homeless shelter and see what happens to older Americans with no money.[/quote]
