Most wait for “full” benefits, but if people were scared everyone over 62 would start.

They sure don’t have any problem spending money on Ukraine. But Social Security? No Way!

Maybe covid didn’t kill off enough of the old timers to drive down the draw on Social Security benefits....

Social Security won’t “go broke”. The money has been stolen by Congress.

They are throwing money down the toilet in Ukraine and there is no end in sight.

What does Zelenskyy have over them?...............

The goal of the boomer generation (in general; FReepers probably excepted) is and has always been to devour all that America could offer and leave nothing behind.

They can’t be expected to stop the Foreign Money Scams and City Infrastructure Bailouts every year.

Peeps in the Big Cities would actually have to work!

Every day, I think about retiring.

The worry now is inflation protection when on a semi fixed income.

But no limit for Ukraine. They take 12.4% of your income, for 45 years. They keep the change if you die before you collect, or if you collect 3 or 4 years and die.

With that income stream, they wail and scream poverty as they struggle to cut you a 1200-1500 dollar check.
If a private financial investment company tried that stunt, they would be arrested and prosecuted.

With what they steal over your lifetime, every American should retire at 65 as a millionaire and monthly income of double SS without touching the principal.

She’s a thief and a criminal and a liar.
