Unfortunately August 15 1971 destroyed any hope of a comfortable retirement for all but the wealthy or people that have a residual income source. A fixed income can never keep up with inflation and the American people were sold down the river with fiat monetary investment. Many baby boomers saw there life savings vanish last year. God bless, I hope all of them persevere in there early retirement.

I will also be 88, if I beat the odds and I seriously doubt that I will.

As for the drooling, heck, I’ve already started that. LOL

It’s every man for themselves..... ;>)

It should have been "every man for themselves" 30 years ago or more. We just didn't get it!

I've taught my kids to be self sufficient in all things. Their "retirement" will have little if anything to do with age, and may not even be in what's left of the US....of course, that is entirely up to them.

As for me...I go as long as I can on the savings I have left and the SS (until it runs out). After that....who knows?

I received my medicare card in the mail today, effective June 1st. I’ve been receiving s.s. since I turned 62.

Never thought I’d live this long.

Ok, now you still pay $110 a month but the Taxpayers pay the rest. You don’t even have to pay a co-pay’!! It is great and all these young graduating college kids are paying for us (like idiots) !!! I love the hell out of it! Bring it on or I will riot!!! I have all these medical problems and I just call the arrogant doctors up and say “WHAT TIME?” . I take a good book and get my damned health care so I can live longer and get MORE!!! It is AWSOME> God Bless America!!

I figured I had better take mine when I could so I took it last year. I’m glad and I can still work part time and earn another $14,700 without losing benifits! Grab yours NOW before Obama steals it!

If I were 10 years older I'd be right in the same line with you. Sadly, I doubt there will be any of my money left by the time I become eligible.

"At which point I'll be 88 and drooling ... so I won't care."

I'll only be 81.

You won't mind if I push your wheelchair around the home, will you, Pops? :)

I guess I had the math a bit wrong there! Thanks for pointing that out. My statement says it would be almost 30% less than if I waited until 66.

Is medicare like having health insurance and do all of us get it? Can you get medical treatment and operations if you have it?

well, my husband and i have been working 25 years now. always paid in. never been on any form of welfare and never collected unemployment benefits. SS won’t be there for us(even though they’ll collect from our checks right up to the end)...now why should i care that everyone here has paid in for years and wants us to keep working so they can get their money now?

I don't fully understand it yet but I believe that everybody who paid in to s.s. is eligible. You have to be 65 years old to get it.

I will be 65 on June 29th this year and didn't do anything to receive my card, they just sent it to me with very little information but they did say that more would be coming. My card says effective date June 1st.

Can you get medical treatment and operations if you have it?

Yes, but there are co pays and I don't know how much.

It has been over a year since I worked (not old enough to retire though). But I have used it as an opportunity to find a way out of YOO-JEAN and in one week I am moving to Southern Oregon and finally starting a new job.

No thanks to Corpse-Man or anyone else in gubmint.
