Is an individual fully responsible in order to survive after retirement

Is an individual fully and solely responsible to save money in order to survive after their retirement?



In this modern society, it is essential for us to work in order to earn money and to live a better life. Admittedly, one can’t survive without money in this materialized society. For the retired, without extra income, saving money becomes vital and some believe that it is their personal responsibility to use the money well. However, others say government and society aspects should also be accounted for. This essay will examine both sides of view.

It is human nature to find a career after one graduate from school, using the knowledge acquired from years of learning, enabling one to build family and live a happier life. As we reach the age of retiring, it is important to realize and face the fact that there will be no extra income besides the retirement pension and it is time to save money. Investing the money that is left well becomes an inevitable task in order to keep our stomachs full. Therefore, the responsibility we have to burden cannot be denied.

Looking from the opposite side of view, society and government responsibility should also be considered when an individual meets the difficulty in living after not working. Social institutes could arrange recreational activities or simple tasks for the elderly to participate and do to earn a little, while government could provide subsidies on money, food, and healthcare etc.

To conclude, I believe that individuals have the partial responsibility to save and use their money well, but would live better with government and society help.

Good morning Nancy. A difficult and controversial topic which cannot really be debated by students, as demonstrated by your brief composition. Not really an essay.
