SS guarantees you the worst possible return on investment. You may as well put your money in a shoe box in the closet.

Shoebox Savings & Thrift sounds like a better deal than SS. You won't make any interest or dividends, and it'll lose value from year to year, but:

1. It actually exists
2. It's actually yours
3. Some politician isn't going to throw it out the window/pocket it/give it away

Don’t forget, you decide when you want to start using it.
