Pfft. Excuses. Might as well blame El Nino, the panda bears, sunspots, or Prince Alexei's hemophilia -- such a distant causal link it becomes meaningless.

Smarten up, boys and girls. Save. Plan. Even a minimal effort at a young age will provide you with a substantial sum of money later.

Nice advice Mr. Greenspan. Too bad the reality is that many simply don't have money to save.

If you think the actions of consumers are a "distant causal link" (nice phrase, schoolboy) then I have to conclude that you are plagued with a particularly potent stupidity.

And, try and remember this, people get what they want. Anyone can save money, even you. Ask your daddy for some, and put it in your piggy.
