Everyone seems to be worried about 401Ks and I was wondering about my dad's Air Force reitirement. So far everything for us is going ok with his
retirement. They bought a house with a mortgage and we had to foreclose and let it go(I won't go into detail)so now we're renting a small A-Frame
house which is cool with me(I'm 34 and living with them for financial reasons like I said not really the point of the post) it really reminds of the
times when my dad was active duty and we lived on base housing. That being said I seem to remember from High School that there was a time after the
civil war with veterans rioting on Washington because of problems with their pensions(I might be mistaken on what point of time in history this
happened) Anyway I'm sure that since this board is called ATS that there is a lot of x-miliatry,retired military,active duty,etc. on here that could
give me some facts on what this means for me and my family because the only thing that keeps us from being on our a&% right now is his retirement and
his military service. I'm sure we're not the only military retiree family out there wondering when this S**t storm will hit us hard or not
