Why didn’t you save before you retired?
The government should spend money telling people SS is supposed to supplement their retirement income.
Didn’t anyone ever tell you that?
What will the gummers spend that extra money on? Give it to the kids? Since you can’t take it with you when you croak my choice would be young women.

I assume you are young and perhaps a little sheltered.
I worked hard my whole life. Saved money, was frugal, paid my bills.
I am now almost retirement age. I no longer have any savings or a lot of other assets due to having a son with terminal cancer and a wife with Stage 4 cancer.
I was self employed for 40 years so I paid both the employee and the employers portion into SS for all those years.
I will be the first in line for MY money the minute I become eligible.
