Disturbing...63 years old and still having to worry about the next pay check.

I work on helping people save their homes from foreclosure. The vast majority (not surprising, really) are between 42 - 66 years old. The younger group is in the prime earnings age. They will never see any windfall that will protect them when Social Security ceases to exist.

Had a dream once where the government essentially paid average families a stipend, just like foster care, to take care of the elderly (food and shelter) until they took ill. Then they simply “went away”.

Perhaps it was a premonition of my own fate.
