How about this. In exchange for NO Socialist Security benefits, I never pay Socialist Security taxes again, ever?

I’ve already been receiving SS payments for 10 years now. Leave mine alone. I do just fine with it.

I like the idea. Get the money upfront with at a nominal interest rate. I’d take it. Otherwise I leave all my SS contributions on the table in the hopes I’ll collect which is looking increasingly doubtful. Give me the money now.

I haven’t lived the healthiest life so I would be taking away from my wife’s future income most likely. Hell, sounds like a plan.

Agreed, anyone in that situation would be better off going on social security.

Question then is, what to do for health insurance?
