<description><![CDATA[Many small business owners are overwhelmed by the many aspects of operating a business and attempting to "get by" during these difficult economic times. While their business could certainly use some new prospects and customers, the business owner simply does not have the time or money to invest in such things right now. First things first, they say! I wonder if they ever considered employing a young person to accomplish these tasks for them. You know, anybody with good Facebook skills can likely transform that knowledge into marketing on the Internet, given the right direction and opportunity!]]></description>

Back when the Social Security Administration was started in the 1930's, few people in the U.S. ever considered such a thing as retirement.  Well, because everybody has been contributing into the Social Security fund during their working lives, we have come to go by their rules and to expect to retire at age 65 - or now age 66 or 67!  These dates are artificial.  Why not consider stopping full time work much earlier in your life?]]></description>
