My dear mother, who spent much of her adult life raising 7 kids at home while Dad worked 2 jobs, went to work outside as a secretary when she was 50, when our youngest sibling was a teenager. She worked (and paid into social security) for about 12-13 years, then collected social security for the next 33 years.
I estimate she collected 15X-20X what she paid in.
Its not just LBJ’s “great society” programs that were a scam.
I don’t care. Your mother does not deserve to starve because she raised 7 kids.
