This Protestant American ain't depending on entitlement programs, not even social security. Will I file to collect it when I'm able? Sure. But I'll retire 5 to 10 years before that despite having to put into SS all these decades, living off a 4% per year withdrawal from our investments. I'd retire even earlier if the govt wasn't forcing me to into SS and pay for the current SS recipients.
Good for you, but the problem still remains that we are running a ponzi scheme without a steady supply of new customers.
