3. Look after the elderly (Article gets silly on that one by ignoring unches o bunches)
4. Save more - This is a catch 22. I think back in the early 90's the savings rate was close to 10% but the growth in the late 90's (for reasons I wont get into) saw an erosion of that. there are tradeoffs that have to be made when it comes to savings rate. Low savings rate helps economic growth and help recovery efforts. Consumer spending and low savings rates are why we have all the little toys we do. It has driven the economy and the lifestyles we lead. If you want to increase savings rates at the national level, which is a good thing...prepare for the tradeoffs.
5. Look over the Horizon - Americans are culturally retarded in the area. It is impossible to do this now and we haven't had the ability to this in close to a century.
