Social Security will be insolvent in what, thirteen years? It’s a government sponsored Ponzi scheme that depended on an ever increasing birth rate. Then came SSDI to children, SSI for people who never worked a day in the country, etc.
My adult children are saving their own money for retirement while also paying for those currently living on Social Security. They will not approve of increased taxes on their already overtaxed incomes to fund others’ retirements while also saving for their own. Nor do I expect them to approve.
Thank you so much for this AND giving concrete steps we can actually take. I know delving into this will relieve some anxiety I’m having, as I’m sure many others have this same worry added to all the other worries one may suffer when navigating psychopaths who want to ‘move fast and break things’.
