Your boomer comment doesn’t actually add up. Contributory obligations were that of a leftist government that made us pay into 45 years plus to get anything out. Those funds would have made many more times the amount in a marketplace. If a person starts at 65 it takes 30 years to break even and the life span is but 8-9 years average so crunch that idea. Being able to invest ourselves even in simple bonds would have allowed even better outcomes. Funny thing is while you suggest that we should have saved more for retirement is a joke because the largest transfer of wealth is happening currently with boomers passing on wealth to children.

That transfer of wealth is stacked at the top hence the crying in this thread about social security cola.

Most boomers are frickin broke dude.
My comment is correct. Stay mad.

You cannot make too much money before full retirement year. Give that SS$ back if you make more than $2K/Month.
Biggest scam going. Eliminate every benefit to all illegals and get them out of this country.

Imagine being that wrong. Your emotional rantings never make sense.

Honestly, likely very little more. Most people, especially young ones spend all they make.

It wasn’t meant to cut, but it appears to have hit a sore spot. By the way, if you were trying to call me a “fig”, try using a comma before the term next time. With your shitty grammar, it doesn’t read correctly.

That's not nice....and that sure seems indicative the past few years. My experience is simply this - the increases of daily items is beyond 2.8% yet some can find monies to lavish upon all manner of nuttiness

Well I would hope so. Whoever heard of a saving plan that doesn't pay in some amount interest?

What about people like my wife who worked their whole life and right before retirement passed away and they don’t get a penny.

Where does that money go frickhead?

You don’t give a shite do you? Sounds like you would call that justice.

It’s my fricking money and I don’t care if I need it or not – mine is walking around money and I enjoy the hell out of it. It’s my fricking money. I want my fricking money back. I worked hard for it.

Social Security is not an entitlement. It’s not the government‘s money. It’s my fricking money and I want it fricking back with interest.
