I will get a cool 1610 per month for the rest of my life at age 67 (I am 36 soon to be 37). Wow I wonder if I should hold my breath.

Oh, you'll get a check for $1,610 dollars. It'll just be worth about $329. The government will print money and not accurately report the rate of inflation and not make COLA adjustments to keep up with inflation.

I'm 44 and have been working steady since 1980. If I had the money that SS has taken from me and had invested it myself, I could retire at age 50.

I don't expect a penny on my retirement date of 2037.
