Started drawing at 62, almost 15 years ago. Several friends laughed and decided to wait until 67 to maximize their benefits but died shortly before they began receiving their first check. They and their employers had paid into the scheme slightly more than 50 years and those that died have essentially received nothing back on their “investment”.
Would love to see someone audit the Social Security fund.

I waited till 68 with first Withholding at 14 (1953) and been drawing for 10 years and hope to draw for another 30 or so. <: <: <:
Would also love to see an HONEST audit and see something done as 20/30/40 somethings drawing because their feelings were hurt by some mean boss or they are too ‘good’ to get a job instead of a position.
Of course today the airwaves are running amok with lawyers ‘guaranteeing’ one getting SSI payments....
Like most everything else, there are some people who actually NEED and ‘earned’ it but ‘they’ have put people on SSI to keep them off Unemployment &/or Welfare.
Like Judge Judy has spouted
‘Back problems? You have had 3 kids since your ‘disability paying back problems’ and Me & Byrd are paying for them also’.....
