Voter’s Rights
Most, if not all of my writings have been directly related to retirement planning. This article is no different. So you might ask yourself, what do voter’s rights have to do with
retirement planning.
Well in this age where the largest percentage of voters are either retired or getting ready to retire, their (your?) vote is extremely important and there are a number of issues that will greatly impact our future.
Now, I am not about to recommend any one candidate or proposition or whatever. However, what I am suggesting is that your vote should focus on four
MAJOR topics in this election. In no certain order;
1. This nation’s economy. Is it growing? Is it getting better? How about unemployment?
2. Social Security. Is Social Security funded to support the current generation of retiree’s? Is it funded to support future retiree’s? Is Social Security paying back to the worker its fair share?
3. Pension reform. Look at all the companies that promised their workers a pension and see how they are trying to get out of their obligation by not paying for their pensions? See how those same companies are trying to pass the obligations to the taxpayer! Is that fair? Hell no its not! Make sure the candidate you choose has a pension reform bill to stop these unfair practices from big companies.
4. And finally, does your candidate have a plan to provide
health care and drug costs that are affordable?
Ok, there you have it, four extremely important issues that
WILL affect your future. Now, the only thing you need to do is
get out and vote.
Summing it all up – Please remember that financial planning is a means to an end, not an end unto itself. Be in control of your finances – not the other way around. These steps will enable you to have a healthier financial future.
