“Get back to me when you’re retired and your drug costs are 5 times what they used to be. And when your SS income is 33% of what your working income was. And you are still taxed on it, too.”

Listen to yourself. Whose fault is it if you are not ready to pay for the healthcare you need or your income goes down?

Your problems are not my fault. You can be sure I’ll be ready when I decide to retire, because I never lived above my means, I always worked hard and at multiple jobs, and I’m not going to retire “early” Why didn’t you do those things?

I pay tens of thousands of dollars a year in SS tax alone so you can bitch and complain that you don’t have enough ladled onto your plate from the gravy train. You’re welcome anyway.

So get back to me when you can man up and take responsibility for your own life and actions, and not wait for someone else to take care of you.

All I can say is good luck to you. You obviously think that SS and Medicare are Entitlements and I am actually getting more than I paid for. I worked in the medical industry for 40+ years and actually started working part time jobs when I was 14. I DID save for my retirement. The costs since Obamacare was implemented are much higher than any of us could foresee. But trust me, those of us who have been paying into our ‘benefits’ for 50 years did expect to have some breaks on extra costs. Obamacare wiped that out. When my mom was on Medicare, her payouts weren’t even close to what I am paying. So, from your lofty position on that ‘I am better than you’ cloud, good luck when you do retire. I hope you have set aside several million to compensate.
