I just don't think SS will go away anytime soon. Both parties seem to like socialism at some level and this program even has the word "social" in it! Politicians are cowards and will just borrow more and more money to keep an 'entitlement' going. However I think they will keep raising eligibility ages and crap so you get less and less of your money back. So I don't think SS goes away but just becomes less and less of an income stream you can count on. But who knows?
They don’t call it the “Third Rail of Politics” for nothing.
i’ve just decided to up both the wife’s and my 401ks.
SS isn’t a given down the line. thanks
