“I’m eligible in 2038. Probably get 5 bucks and told to be happy...”
Sweetheart? If you haven’t been planning for your retirement years WITHOUT SS in the picture, you’re in big, BIG trouble.
But you’ve still got a decent amount of time to plan, if you start right now!
I get my first SS payment in September. Know what I wish? I wish I had been ‘allowed’ to keep ALL of the money I’ve earned over a lifetime of hard work, versus it being STOLEN from me through a confiscatory taxation Ponzi Scheme!
It SICKENS me to know what my Tax Dollars have paid for through the years - abortions, bridges to nowhere, Socialist Democrat and RINO slush funds, and helping to support every loser out there on a Town, County, City, State or Federal Payroll, as well as all the Baby Daddies and Side-Chicks and seemingly endless illegitimate kids that have the whole thing working in their favor!
Please! I BEG of you, and anyone else reading. LEARN about your taxes and pay only what you owe by law that won’t send you to prison. I really fear for my Fellow Conservatives.
(I don’t give a rat’s rump about Socialist Democrats and RINOs.)
No worries. I get 4500 a month military retirement check. House paid off. Thrift savings, Roth IRA and Mutuals and individual stocks. I should be ok unless the country bankrupts: then we’re all screwed anyway.
Everyone is in a different situation. In my own case, I signed up at age 62 for SS because I had retired at age 57 due to health issues and needed income. When I called SS on phone to sign up, the lady asks me if I have children under age 18. Why would she be asking me about children I wondered. So I sheepishly answered actually yes I married late and have 2 kids ages 9 & 11. She then said SS will pay additional benefits for both kids until they reach 18! That was huge! I received $1500/month additional benefits for the kids. I had never heard of this in any of the pre-retirement seminars. I was glad to sign up at age 62 instead of 65.
