I could have done an awful lot with that money --- for one I could easily have my house paid off and then work with no mortgage payment for quite a few years before I'd even think about retiring.

I would even be glad to just get back exactly what I've put in --- no interest added but I doubt I'll even see that.

I hate to say it but it's sheer folley to depend on the govt. for much of anything. Depend on yourself.
