Why digg down these folks, they speak the truth, saving for a retirement is crap when you are saddled with student loan debt, or worse that debt plus credit card or other debts (like a new car to get to that new job).right, what kind of IDIOT at 16 has a steady enough job to save $10 a week that doesn't get consumed in expenses for High School, Extra Curricular Activites, or spent on College books for example? I slaved away EVERy summer just to make enough money to try and cover books, and you know what, College went up in costs but my income didn't increase much during that time either. What a crock, saving at 16 my ass.

Get a higher paying job? Take classes (while working) be a nurse. There's a demand for that.
