Yes sir, we want it all, and we want it now...kid's education, who cares, they'll get a loan.....55" 1080P plasma, sure...retirement, who cares, that's 30 years from now....we are a debtor nation, with the worst personal savings rate of all the industrialized nations.......One thing's for sure, 30 years from now Publix will have no trouble finding qualified 65 year old bag boys and cashiers......

Suzi Orman wasnt always selling books pal...she's not my cup of tea, but she's a smart lady.....

Ditto!!!
