I started saving in my 401K when I was 18. I put money away, and let it earn a return in the stock market. Now I have started saving money for eventual investment in a business. I know that I cannot count on the government to support me in my later years, so I am taking control of my future by putting aside money now! I hope many other Americans are doing the same, and realizing that the Government is not the answer to funding the golden years in our lives.Save some money each week. Even $20 a paycheck starts to add up when you set it aside and "pay yourself". You'll look back on that event fondly later in life while you are enjoying the fruits of your frugal labor! C.C.
