"you can buy your own bonds in an IRA.
I did... 30 year zeros paying 16%, back in '79 or '80..

"there's a lot more you can do with an IRA than equities..."

This is true; there's more than one way to lose money, and most people will find all of them. It's a good thing they have nice, safe, boring SS to pay the bills.

"You can even purchase real estate.."

Like in "I bought rental property in '07, and it was foreclosed on in '09? Good thing I still have my SS."?
