I have funded my own retirement.... you can justify it by saying it's not the government's fault, but apparently they don't agree with you....this is what they put on the table....I've said it before, but if they had come up with a different solution, such as dividing up the fund and giving it to the members I would have supported that...it isn't fair to guys putting money in there right now to get nothing when they retire....I'm not in central states by the way....my fund has no insolvency date, unless they take the money, then it has an insolvency date of 2051....I will most likely be dead by then or close to it and I hope they don't take the money for the sake of the younger guys after me...that wouldn't be fair to them...
