What is the biggest threat to your retirement security?

The biggest threat to retirement security is privatization of Social Security followed closely by rapid, uncontrolled medical cost inflation. No one seems to be saying what is painfully obvious to seniors, and that is that managed care is all about managing to give as little care as possible to maximize insurance company profit.

The biggest threat to retirement security is legislators who want to balance state budgets by "borrowing" funds from the teachers retirement systems.

The biggest threat to retirement security is those who regularly attack public pensions as being luxuries that the public can't afford. Their rhetoric appears to contend that public employees are not entitled to living wages and reasonable retirement payments, and they cast doubts on the credibility and trustworthiness of public employees.

The biggest threat to my retirement security is the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). I will now be punished for my public service by the Federal Government who will deduct up to half of my meager teachers retirement from my Social Security check.

 The biggest threat to retirement security is INFLATION. I am retired from NYS for 5 years and already inflation has taken 15% from my pension.

The biggest threat to retirement security is Medicare reimbursement payments to medical providers. In Alaska it is becoming extremely difficult to find providers who will accept Medicare patients.

I fear that the health insurance that is currently available to employees and their family members will be removed before I retire. My wife is disabled and unable to work, therefore she is dependent upon my health coverage. Since she has a pre-existing condition, I fear losing my job, changing jobs, or having my health insurance benefits removed or significantly lessened.
