Fellow X'er here. My wife and I have worked with a financial consultant for the last 20 years. From the get go she said not to count on SS at all.
We have always considered all that money we paid into it to be just.... Gone. That's pretty much a reality now.
I hope the billionaires enjoy what our money buys for them. It will probably be another politician.
No, it's not gone. Your money is being put to good use letting boomers who retired at 65 continue to pay the bills on their $1.5m house they bought for a nickeland a handshake fifty years ago
That might be true at this moment. In another year? It will be used by billionaires to buy another island, or politician.
SS will be privatized, then that private company will go bankrupt in the next few years and all the money in SS now, will be "mysteriously" gone.
