Save aggressively.................

Walter Russell Mead, who writes more insightfully and thoughtfully about current world events than the next ten pundits combined, continues to sound the alarms on the overly-generous and grievously underfunded public pensions.  Essay is here.  Money quote is here:

"The only one who really cares about your retirement is you: plan prudently, save aggressively, and if something sounds too good to be true, don’t believe it."

Good advice for kids of all ages.
