Was your dad a WWII vet?
Yeah, if not, it doesn;t make sense.........
I was born in the 60’s and my dad was a WWII Vet.
Does that make me an official Boomer?
Yeah, if not, it doesn;t make sense.........
No, my father was 17 when the Korean War started. By the time the Korean war was over, he had graduated from college.
Let’s see... Peering into my crystal ball....
I see the fedgov telling me in about 15 years, “You know, that 401k and IRA you have been building because you just KNEW that SS would go belly up. Well, there are a bunch of you out there doing this and, gosh darn it, you guys (and gals) have a bunch of money in your accounts. Tell ya what we at the IRS and SSAdmin are going to do. We are going to place a 50% tax on the amount of your account and roll the rest into a SS account, how does that sound?”
“Hey, cmon we have to buy the senior vote somehow. Cant cut their benefits and we have already increased the SS tax to 20% of your gross.”
.... end prediction.
Now tell me - am I paranoid or Karnac?
I was born in ‘62 and my dad was even a tad young to be a Korea War vet. He went into the AF in ‘55 and left in ‘60.
