Our SS system definately needs fixed. Something stay at home mom's need to consider, I was married 24 years, stayed at home about 5 years till the kids went to school. Now, when I get that SS statement, those years have zero income bringing my SS down due to averaging my income.
I realize most women who are stay at home mom's never consider divorce but it does happen, if they've raised their children it could be 18 years with no income, hence no SS.
I am in that predicament. Married two kids retraining for a new career, and 19 years with only pt work. I am so screwed, cause the government only cares about immigrants.
