As a person who has already paid SS for 30 years, and is planning on paying it for another 20 years, I think your idea of increasing my time/cost just sucks. That’s OK though because it’s been at least a decade since I realized that My SS payments were never coming back to me. I just plan on retiring without SS while I watch my Union friends retire at 45-55 years old and start their second careers.

It looks to me like you will have the quarters and almost do already. 30 years equals 120 quarters which is what you qualify for. Now the only problem could be age. I don’t know of any other way to do it that would satisfy everyone. The senate won’t just do away with the entire program and seniors can barely live on the check they get anyway. It does not seem like a win-win situation anyway.
