You can't afford to manage your finances the way your parents did. While your parents and grandparents paid relatively little in taxes, you lose more than a third of your income to the tax collector. Prices for goods and services were stable for the first 60 years of this century, but you must buy today to avoid tomorrow's price increases. The result? You are earning more money than ever'but you also save less than ever. And, by living longer, you increase the risk that you will outlive your income.
