Only 11% of Americans age 29-49 are confident they will have the same standard of living in retirement.

71% believe Social Security will be bankrupt by the time they retire.

Only 82% feel they have all of the information they need to plan for retirement.

While there are plenty of short-term economic problems facing the United States, long-term financial planning is being ignored by the Federal Government and the Social Security Administration.  Social Security is going bankrupt and needs reform.  Recently, politicians have debated the program, equating it to a Ponzi scheme and proposing to bring the program down to the state level.  The current problem lies in the fact that Social Security policy is focused on short-term benefits rather than the inevitable bankruptcy in 2037.

Social Security is based on ONE simple promise: If you pay into the system, you’re guaranteed benefits. Period! This is one promise to the American people that politicians in Washington have no business breaking.

By signing this petition I am committing to my financial future and expressing that the Federal Government and Social Security Administration must make the same commitment. 

FiPath is committed to helping Generation X connect them to their financial future with unbiased financial planning resources, easy-to-use calculators, educational content and more.  To highlight this commitment, FiPath will be donating $1 per signature to the Social Security Trust Fund in order to strengthen the benefits for those less fortunate.
