25. Yes, and as a baby boomer.....
I'm a bit sick and tired of hearing about the "greatest generation" and how us baby boomers are so spoiled and didn't plan for our retirement. My husband and I have worked for many years now but once ole' Reagan took office the laws were gutted protecting the little guy. I vividly remember how they sold the public a bill of goods about how rich everyone would be if they just invested the maximum in their IRA 's. They would have a million dollars after 35 years. Well guess what? It didn't work that way. Even if you were a diligent saver you aren't likely to be a millionaire now.
