Not a lot I can do about that at this point in my life except say “Thank you!”...and encourage you to continue working as long as possible! Oh and...wife’s pulling the SS plug in seven weeks. She says “Thank you!” too!
Sorry but we are doing absolutely everything we can to move our income sources to those that are not subject to SS tax.
The ~$700 or so a month they pull out of my paychecks for SS is beyond annoying.
moo: At least you paid into it. My grandfathers paid in quite a bit I suppose, but grandmothers not a cent, but still got their SS money. I suppose it all evens out in the end. I’ll pay out - but not receive a cent.
