they have to work longer to pay off the usery debt they stacked up
"Social Security" barely pays back enough for food and utilities. Even if you had a free place to live you need extra income
Social security is no where near enough to live on
besides , Zelenski needs the money
I’m 85 I took SS @ 62 because I wanted to get my money back before I or the gov crooked. Less payments I hoped to make up with my othe investments. Prob did not.
I live modestly, have no desire to spend for vacations, fancy foods at home, I rarely eat out or buy new clothes. I own my home and auto, and drive little. Medicare and supplemental insurance cover most of the medical costs (knock wood) though that could certainly change.
The $31,000/year I receive, net, covers my expenses, even including the costs for my one hobby - constructing a HO scale model railroad, which isn't cheap for buying tools, materials and components.
That's how it looks today and for the last several years. I do fully realize tomorrow could bring a new reality. We'll see...
