So, if I have the foresight to self-finance my retirement, I get to get screwed out of the SS I've been forced, against my will, to pay into my whole life? You're making retirement planning a little tough there. I wonder how much income I'll have when I have to stop working. Maybe I should just work my whole life? Would that be good for you, too?
The means-test concept infuriates me too. I don’t care who you are, I don’t care what you make — it’s their their damn money to decide who gets it back and who doesn’t.
What I wouldn’t give for a candidate with the balls to talk about nuking that bastard FDR’s bullsh*t ponzi once and for all.
That’s about it. You had better plan to self-finance or keep working. In every game of financial musical chairs the music stops at some point. I think I hear the music fading...
Thanks for validating my point.
