Social Security is the very foundation of retirement security for millions of Americans.

Our government makes the simple promise of a secure retirement to every American who works for many years and contributes to our retirement benefit system.

I wanted to start a proper academy and recruit juniors from all over Pakistan following my retirement after the World Open in 1993 but there was no support.

We need to take steps to strengthen and mend Social Security so that its promise of a secure retirement is just as real for seniors in the future as it is today.

Since my retirement, I've spent a lot of time trying to help the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina. A society like this just can't afford an uneducated underclass of citizens.

I agree that we must expand opportunities for retirement saving, but we must not undermine this worthy effort with a flawed privatization scheme that takes the 'security' out of Social Security.

The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off.

Since Social Security faces a large gap between what it promises younger workers and what it can afford to pay them, private savings will likely need to play a larger role in retirement planning for younger workers.

Increased awareness and education could be a great help toward improving spending and saving habits and increasing participation and contribution levels to retirement plans.

Though Congress continues to explore possible solutions to ensure social security solvency, everyone must take personal responsibility to prepare their own retirement savings accordingly.

Financial literacy is an issue that should command our attention because many Americans are not adequately organizing finances for their education, healthcare and retirement.

Whether you are just entering the workforce or nearing retirement age, planning for the future is critical.

Spending and tax cut decisions must be both fiscally responsible and fair to our working families. I believe that fiscal responsibility is the way to create prosperity for America and secure the retirement of America's seniors.

Social Security not only helps Americans enjoy a secure retirement, it has also kept millions of Americans out of poverty.

I am not really retired, and may never be completely, but I can't think of a better place to contemplate retirement than New York City.

When one gets old and they are sick, there are not many things they can count on but they should be able to count on Social Security. Our seniors' retirement should never rely on the bull of political promises or the bear of the market.

Our seniors' retirement should never rely on the bull of political promises or the bear of the market.

Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.

What we should be trying to do is to encourage people to establish private retirement accounts and help them take pressure off the Social Security system.

The pain of retirement means loss.
