I can't even bring myself to think about financial security in terms of retirement. I also wonder what I've done wrong?!! As a single person, I live pretty much from paycheck to paycheck. Each time I think I may be a few dollars ahead, some new expense looms its head. It also seems I'm not much different from many of my coworkers (teachers), except those who are married to men or women bringing in an additional fat paycheck.
Hey, I know I'm rambling here. For peace of mind, I choose not to think about it, bury my head in the sand!

And a single person will seldom own their own home. Financial planners are out of touch with the working class poor.
Thanks for this!
