Why even go to you retire to pay for the sins of uncle sam. The youth should stop working and being a slave to pay for the entitlements of the past and the spending for ukraine and the rest of the world.
Not sure what you meant, I don't even have to take Social Security until at leat 65. I've planned well for these years. I want NOTHING from this god forsaken government of ours.
I'll wait to max out my SS payments and then I'll take it. And then, the bastards will pay. I've already accumulated the max amount per year, no need for me to work any more. That's just putting $$ in the Governments hands and I'll be damn'ed if I do that any longer.
Isn’t that what the Chinese are doing? “Lie flat” or something.
I’m getting out easy. Medical bills nearly wiped us out; we were perpetually broke. It took over a decade to recover.
I started earning serious money about four years ago, when I could work full time and my kids were all middle school age. This year, I’ll be pulling in about $130K on my own. With my husband’s salary, we are banking about $8K a month while putting kids through college and enjoying life.
The good news is I don’t have to save for retirement. COVID savaged my lungs and I have about 10 years left to live. I have at least 5 more where I can be productive at this level and keep raking it in..
Thankfully, I have $750K in life insurance, long term policies, so my family will be okay when I’m gone.
I’m going to die young and make a good looking corpse. My husband is young enough, smart enough, and handsome enough that he won’t be alone for long.
I have lived an amazing life, seen and done some incredible things, have loved and been loved by a wonderful husband, and have 3 smart, funny, and honorable kids.
All is well with my soul.
