SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) Always figured I wouldn’t get anything from SS. I’ve also thought it was complete bullshit that I’m paying into it. My money is better invested elsewhere than being in the US government’s possession. Edited May 22, 2022 by SayatodaU.P.eh? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin_dry Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I plan on using every last penny off my Social Security. The 5.9% bump gave me an extra $160mo. Pays for gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member EvilBird Posted May 22, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) Social Security Everyone should have a better plan to "retire" with. And if you dont, with the internet younger generations can be easily working from home making money until they die. My Grandfather had a great pension but still made money off the stock market and other investments/businesses until the day he died. No reason not too.

Snake Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Making sure you have 3 pensions and 2 401ks is the easiest way to say fuck SS and the government..... I put almost 50 years in also, and will take what I get. But it is the last thing we NEED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin_dry Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 In reality there are no 100% “sure things”. Pensions, 401ks, SS, gold. Any and all can be wiped out and you’ll be in a bread line. This is the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on me for getting a fraction of it back when I finally decide to retire. Those fucking boomers! Congratulations to you twats who fall for these narratives, first time in history, younger generations have shit on those who came before them. Well done! while not going to be as much as invested in the broad market you should get that money back in 10-15 years even having paid both sides the years you were self employed. SS is a necessary safety net and one can't just let people opt out IMO because too many with no financial acumen would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course everyone should but over half of Americans have no retirement savings. That is going to be a problem because we are looking a significant amount of the population that may be not only poor but also unemployable and with lots of health issues. What do you think that will do to the economy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is I have to live long enough to collect it (assuming its still solvent). I have been removing asbestos for 31 years and the latency period for asbestos related lung cancer is 15-45 years. Ill be 67 in 15 years which will put me at 46 years in! The good news is I dont need to worry about stretching my retirement savings out if that happens!

That's why chain migration needs to be stopped and we need to get back to only those who paid in getting to draw on it.
