This month's issue of AARP Magazine is asking for AARP members to write in with stories about how adults help children with money problems.
This is our chance! S4 would like to ask all of our senior and adult supporters to write to AARP and tell them about how the current Social Security system is bad for young Americans and is creating financial problems for youths now and in the future.
Here is the link where you can write in your stories, and consider including some of the following points:
The current system cannot afford to pay your grandchildren the benefits they have been promised.
Payroll taxes are so high, young workers do not have enough disposable income to save for retirement in other ways.
Raising taxes to "fix" the current system will slow economic growth and cut worker's salaries, making it impossible for young people to support themselves.
Also, don't forget to tell AARP that personal accounts--the reform plan they tried to kill last year--are a great way for young Americans to save.
Personal accounts give young Americans retirement savings they own and control.
Personal accounts yield high returns to ensure today's youths will be economically independent when they are ready to retire.
Personal accounts are the solution young people want because it is the only reform plan that gives them control over their income and savings.
Please help us by sending AARP your stories about how PRAs help your grandkids today!
