Many Americans rely on Social Security benefits to see them through retirement, but how much should they really be depending on those checks?
Not very much, experts said.
Social Security is not being used as it was intended, said Ric Edelman, executive chairman and co-founder of Edelman Financial Services in Fairfax, Va. and author of “The Truth about Your Future.” When Congress and President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the system in 1933, the program was designed to be a safety net for Americans — for those who had no financial support. Now, “a great many Americans are relying heavily on Social Security to maintain their lifestyle in retirement.”
More than 66 million people received Social Security and/or Supplemental Security Income in August, more than 46 million of which were Americans 65 and older. Social Security makes up a majority of cash income for 61% of elderly beneficiaries, and a third rely on this benefit for 90% or more of their income, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a governmental budget policies think tank based in Washington, D.C. The average monthly retirement benefit under the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance was $1,326, according to the Social Security Administration.
Retired workers received an average of $1,371 while spouses of retired workers received $714 and children of retired workers received $659. “Social Security is funding as last resort, and if it goes away there is no government program to serve as a fall back,” Edelman said. “This is the fall back.”
How did Americans get here?
Unfortunately, it’s a familiar story: many Americans just haven’t saved enough for retirement, either because of poor planning or an inability to put money away for their futures.

No, pajama boys like you an Kebin are the tight butt boys..... you being the top LGBTQ supporter & king of inclusion!
SanFran is calling you! They need you for a fourth, to orgy with.
BTW, aren't you a pork farmer? How does that fit the w/Tora, Ham-server ?
.
I can see that your mental retardation has been tough for your mom to live with.
.
My Mom died a few years back a$$hole!!! She's with the LORD NOW!!!! No Torah, only NT Church theology, only Grace, only the NEW Covenant!!!
Most of white Europeans are genetically the House of Israel , if you believe that, it's one of the most foolish things you belive!!!!! Only genetic Jews are Israel!!! Trying to fit your round peg into the square hole in your head has done major brain damage to you.
If you're a gentile who thinks he's a Jew by keeping the Torah and correctly following Old Testament Torah prescriptions, well Lucifer has duped another one!!!
Your comments continuously reinforce and expose you as the reprobate you surely are. Work, work, work your Torah way into Heaven. How do you know for sure you've done enough Torah work? Maybe there's a Torah purgatory for your kind of ISRAELI .......you know, where you work off your sin. Say three hail Torahs an twirl a plucked chicken over your head. BTW how have you "the genetic ISRAELI been able to atone for your past year's sin, given that the Torah has specific prescriptions for an ISRAELI to preform once a year? Do you go up to the Temple in Jerusalem at Passover.....make a sin offering......OH, that's right there is no Temple in Jerusalem and there's no priesthood!!!!! So, how are you able to use the Torah's prescriptions for covering your past year's sin????? Or, are you sinless, which you surely must be.
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on you!!!!
.
So you live by the imherited lies of the man made “church” and deny Yehova’s path to righteousness given to the people of his only covenant delivered at sinai and renewed in his son’s inocent blood.
Understood!
By grace are we to be saved by our faith in keeping Yehova’s commandments. There will be no grace dispensed to those that practice iniquity, as Yeshua assured us in Matthew 7:21-23.
“Depart from me you worker of iniquity” is what he will tell you. It is unfortunate that 1John ch3 was omitted from your Bible.
The purpose of John’s first epistle is to tell you that you are lost and hopeless in your willful denial of Torah. You will be judged by what you did; not by what someone else didn’t do.
Work is phariseeism; obedience is the righteousness of Yehova. Iniquity is equating the two.
.
Ali-Ali-In -Free, mumbo jumbo, double speak, you blather and say nothing.......no better than a muslim. In fact worse because you involve the one True GOD & HIS SON in your falsehoods. You don't offer any relief from phariseeism oral laws and traditions that can not save anyone! Instead you pile on more phariseeism!
You will be judged by what you did; not by what someone else didn’t do. Example of your illogical thinking and circular thinking! That didn't answer any previous comment or question.
AGAIN I ASK YOU, without the Temple & Temple priesthood, how can you follow the Torah? BUSTED, you cannot and none of your spittle laced blather can justifyYOUR claim to follow the Torah without those !!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact, you send me a comment (11/4/2017 10:58:48 PM). That's working on the Jewish Sabbath and a sin according to the Torah, NOT GOOD, Torah breaker!!
“Depart from me you lying worker of iniquity”
Your new name is: Torah-Counterfeit.....or Torah-Forgery or....... Torah-Sham or Torah-Deceiver

On the other hand, an O-10 (four-star) gets $15,583.20, more than a congresscritter. Income inequality!
What would anyone have been arrested for?
If their broker defrauded them, that's one thing. If they'd invested in Enron, then they picked the wrong company, and its managers did get arrested and did go to the can.
But the prices of perfectly honest companies held in accounts managed by honest brokers do fluctuate. If yours go down, you are the victim of your own bad judgement (and bad temperament, if you panic sell), and there is no one needing to be arrested. Your alternative is cash, the value of which is managed by a perfectly dishonest / incompetent government. Or real estate, but remember 2008 (a real estate bubble which was a government-induced phenomenon).
Yet, they managed to put some in their 401K. 20,000 disappeared into someone’s pocket.
In a financial downturn, apparent wealth vanishes into thin air, not into "someone's" pocket. What happens is, assets get bid up beyond their true worth, then the market realizes WTF, and asset prices come crashing down. Suddenly, that number at the top of your brokerage account page plunges. But you are not the victim of theft.
Nvidia is a great outfit.
However, repeat after me, "Past performance is no guarantee of future results." No matter how great the company.
Diversification is a must.
We just need to get to work on it, NOW...

Like ANYTHING else government gets involved in..
OH...it will be 20 years before we see any REAL changes so lets work on it.
SO....that was 25 years ago and if ‘they’ had acted then ‘we’ would be 5 years into the program.
OH...Yes we could drill the North Shore but it would be 10 years before a difference will be seen so lets work on it.
SO...That was 40 years ago etc etc etc
OH...THE SALE OF ‘’MARSHMALLOWS’’ HAVE TO BE STOPPED they are ‘poisonous’ slowly killing people.
SO...It was voted on to stop selling marshmallows by 2020. If they are so bad, why let them hang around for another 3 years?
Right back to hiring a committee to see if we start a new committee/program and when nearing the end hire another committee to downgrade the 3 committees that are still running from day 1.
And best of all LIKE THE ‘Friendlys are FINALLY preachin’
Q How are we going to pay for these tax cuts?
A(friendlys)......try not spending so much money on nothing. If you cut taxes, people will have more money to spend which will generate more tax revenue..
Like the infamous N Pelosi or B Boxer or one of those CA airheads said...Unemployment and money for no work programs are GOOD for the economy because it puts more money back in the system which will generate more taxes.
SHE is correct BUT it is OUR money she is using to generate more taxes.
They feel her idea is GOOD, while taking people OFF the free money and let them earn their own to generate more tax revenue is beyond their wildest dream....
KICK ALL THE INCUMBENTS OUT
.
I have tired of your expounding on your total lack of understanding of Yehova’s word.
You have made it clear that you love the lies, and despise the Gospel of the Kingdom that Yeshua taught.
You especially despise being taught anything.
The dust has been shaken from my sandals at your doorstep.
Fini!
.
HA, Pffft.....YOU couldn't teach a turd to stink!!
AGAIN & AGAIN I ASK YOU, without the Temple & Temple priesthood, how can you follow the Torah?? Your claim to follow the Torah without those, is pure lies!!!!!!!!! You sin working on the Jewish Sabbath and refuse to own up to it!! Your own lies condemn you!
“Depart from me you lying worker of iniquity” Your new name is: Torah-Counterfeit.....or Torah-Forgery or....... Torah-Sham........Torah-Deceiver...... Torah-pirate...... Torah-porker......

Torah-hoaxter & that's the best name, everything you claim to be is a hoax....your faux teaching is a hoax, your faux, sanctimonious, hypocritical, insincere, self-righteous, holier-than-thou, pietistic, exaggerated religiosity will bite your a$$.
Fini!...I doubt it. Your narcissistic disorder will not let you. You have a need to put you big hook nose into everyone's business because god depends on YOU!!! Notice: lower case god.....(lc)god=satan!

Nobody can teach you anything.
You’re the adversary’s tool.

Wow that didn't take the Narcissist long!
Seriously teach me this: Again, AGAIN & AGAIN I ASK YOU, without the Temple & Temple priesthood, how can you follow the Torah?? Your claim to follow the Torah without those, is pure lies!!!!!!!!!

Yeshua’s shed blood ended the purpose of the temple.
Nobody should have to tell you that if you had even the most rudimentary level of understanding. The red ribbon stopped turning white after the resurrection of Yeshua.
The covenant from Sinai had been renewed in sinless blood.
Jeremiah 31:
[27] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
[28] And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
[29] In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
[30] But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
[31] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
[32] Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
[33] But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
[34] And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Clearly Torah is not written on your deeply iniquitous heart, thus you have no part in this.
Perhaps you can learn from watching the bride gathered on the day of Trumpets, and after going through the 10 days of the bowl judgments, and find his loving law when he sits on the throne of David.
(but I won't be holding my breath) .
The New Covenant (or New Testament) is the promise that God makes with humanity that He will forgive sin and restore fellowship with those whose hearts are turned toward Him. Jesus Christ is the mediator of the New Covenant, and His death on the cross is the basis of the promise (Luke 22:20). The New Covenant was predicted while the Old Covenant was still in effect—the prophets Moses, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel all allude to the New Covenant. The Old Covenant that God had established with His people required strict obedience to the Mosaic Law. Because the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), the Law required that Israel perform daily sacrifices in order to atone for sin. But Moses, through whom God established the Old Covenant, also anticipated the New Covenant. In one of his final addresses to the nation of Israel, Moses looks forward to a time when Israel would be given “a heart to understand” (Deuteronomy 29:4, ESV). Moses predicts that Israel would fail in keeping the Old Covenant (verses 22–28), but he then sees a time of restoration (30:1–5). At that time, Moses says, “The Lord your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live” (verse 6). The New Covenant involves a total change of heart so that God’s people are naturally pleasing to Him. The prophet Jeremiah also predicted the New Covenant. “‘The day will come,’ says the Lord, ‘when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. . . . But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day,’ says the Lord. ‘I will put my law in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people’” (Jeremiah 31:31, 33). Jesus Christ came to fulfill the Law of Moses (Matthew 5:17) and to establish the New Covenant between God and His people. The Old Covenant was written in stone, but the New Covenant is written on our hearts. Entering the New Covenant is made possible only by faith in Christ, who shed His blood to take away the sins of the world (John 1:29). Luke 22:20 relates how Jesus, at the Last Supper, takes the cup and says, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood” (ESV).
The New Covenant is also mentioned in Ezekiel 36:26–27, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.” Ezekiel lists several aspects of the New Covenant here: a new heart, a new spirit, the indwelling Holy Spirit, and true holiness. The Mosaic Law could provide none of these things (see Romans 3:20). The New Covenant was originally given to Israel and includes a promise of fruitfulness, blessing, and a peaceful existence in the Promised Land. In Ezekiel 36:28–30 God says, “Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God. . . . I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you. I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine.” Deuteronomy 30:1–5 contains similar promises related to Israel under the New Covenant. After the resurrection of Christ, Gentiles were brought into the blessing of the New Covenant, too (Acts 10; Ephesians 2:13–14). The fulfillment of the New Covenant will be seen in two places: on earth, during the Millennial Kingdom; and in heaven, for all eternity.
We are no longer under the Law but under grace (Romans 6:14–15).

The “new covenant” is exactly the old covenant, renewed in sinless blood.
Written on the heart of thwe believer, the believer loves Torah, and gleefully obeys.
You are outside of that covenant by choice. You don’t want Yehova’s righteousness, and teach others against it, thus are not a part of Yeshua’s Kehillah.
That’s what you want anyway, right?
.
Written on the heart of thwe believer, the believer loves Torah, and gleefully obeys.
So, how does one worship in your Torah system?
Does one embrace the NT as much as the OT? Do you have a Temple service? Is the service akin to a Messianic Jewish service?
I notice you quote from Jeremiah almost exclusively but hardly from other OT sources. Are the instruction given in Leviticus part of your Torah belief & are these instructions followed to the letter?
You say, " the believer loves Torah, and gleefully obeys.Could you agree, "a believer in the finished work of JESUS as defined by a NT church, loves him and gleefully obeys him? If you can not agree where is that wrong?
Do you have a scripture that defines NT church as contrary to GODS will?
just asking for understanding, not arguing.
What the “Churchies” present for doctrine is described by Jeremiah as “Inherited Lies wherein there is no profit.”
Iniquity is the foundation of the imaginary “Church.

WHOA!.... The “NT” contains no valid doctrine not already a part of Torah. You yourself, in a recent answer to me, spoke about the ten virgins and getting ready for the Rapture.......where is that in the Torah? There is no Rapture in the Torah, there is no reference to virgins getting ready for a secret event never before spoken of..... It's a NT concept and taught in the new Body of Christ, i.e. church!
What the “Churchies” present for doctrine is described by Jeremiah as “Inherited Lies wherein there is no profit.”
A DOUBLE WHOA, because you've taken this out of context. Jeremiah 16 refers to a time period, when Jews are emigrating from a Northern land (The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north , representing a future time) and from a country geographically North of Israel, which is the Soviet Union. Jews have been leaving the Soviet Union (Russia after the CCCP breakup) and are still migrating to Israel. Nowhere in the Bible did Israel return from the North, except the last 20 - 30 years.
The sixteenth chapter of Jeremiah, continues chronologically to a point when Israel and the Isrealites has been given the kingdom to rule earth, with Messiah on David's Throne in Jerusalem. Jeremiah sees Gentiles coming to Jerusalem to beg the Jews forgiveness for the evil done to that nation!
Jeremiah 16: 14Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 15But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers. 16Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. 17For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. 18And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
Here GOD is making it clear that the 2000+ years that gentiles have polluted the Holy land/Jerusalem, has not gone unnoticed by GOD! HE will repay gentiles for their wickedness and compensate Israel in the 1000 year rein of MESSIAH!
19O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. 20Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? (I can't say for certain but this sounds to me like islam....could be multiple other false religious as well.) 21Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.
verse 21 is GOD'S ultimate goal, to have the entirety of humanity acknowledge, there is only one GOD & JESUS is his son!
Iniquity is the foundation of the imaginary “Church........So, by your words, the very moment the "Ekklesia,” Congregation, church or best name....Body of Christ was created, it was created in Iniquity. Am I correct in assuming that's what you believe? If you are thinking Mormans....OK I agree. If you are thinking modern day liberal church....OK I agree. Even if you are thinking Catholicism....OK I agree. But Bible believing Body of Christ....you & I disagree.

>> “You yourself, in a recent answer to me, spoke about the ten virgins and getting ready for the Rapture” <<
There is no “Rapture,” only the gathering of the Bride of Yeshua at the Day of Trumpets.
Its the failure to study and follow the appointed times that has left you apart from that gathering.
Yehova has a specific detailed plan that unfolds on schedule, and is easily recognizable to those that simply follow his inerrant word, rather than the babbling of self important nicolaitans.
Christianity was invented in the 4th century by Eusebius and Constantine. Prior to that the Notzerim (Yeshua’s disciples and apostles) followed Torah perfectly. (they still do today)
Christianity is nowhere to be found in any scripture. It is an attack on Yehova’s plan of salvation. The scriptures state unequivocally that only those that call out his name, and keep his commandments will be saved.
What do you think Matthew ch 7 is all about? Or Romans ch 2? “Doers, not hearers of the Law will be justified.” That is about as plain as can be.
How about John’s first epistle? He says plainly that those that say they know Yeshua but do not walk as he walked (Torah compliant in every way) are liars.
The great error of “christianity” is failing to grasp the difference between the Pharisees’ false laws (the unbearable burden) and Yehova’s loving Torah.
Paul praised the Galatians profusely for keeping the appointed times and the commandments, and told them not to be judged by anyone but the body of Christ; but christianity instead allows itself to be judged by the nicolaitans that infest their pulpits.
Your “interpretation” of Jeremiah is insane! He wrote nothing about Jews; he wrote about Israel, which is the bride of Yeshua. (do you even understand the great difference between Judah and Israel?)
Jeremiah wrote about our time. Christian doctrine is the inherited lies. Torah is Yeshua’s narrow path. The covenant has been renewed in Yeshua’s blood with The House of Judah and The House of Israel.
If you are not sojourning with Israel (read: keeping Yehova’s commandments) you are not a part thereof.
Israel will rule with Yeshua when he brings us back from the wedding feast to Earth. That is 15 days after he gathers us. (15 days from Trumpets to Tabernacles)
In that intervening time, the bowl judgements will be pored out on those that remain on Earth.
“From the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them” is the whole world.
That migration has been in progress for decades.
Most of what you write is absolute confusion. It comes from the theological Cemetaries!
Read the word and don’t change it.
