Exactly why we need to carefully review options under a privattization plan. With a private account, you set up an annuity and he would probably have outlived any normal annuity. If he got a life-time annuity, there would be no INVESTMENT to pass on. If you make it to 96 you win. Honest!

But did he not pay in for not 96years but say 60+ years? Should he/family not get something back? No, he paid for mom and dad and their friends, grandma and grandpa and their friends, et al. That's the system. Pay as you go. You're owed nothing. The key is to live to 96.

If things go right and there is no embargo or shortage of tile mastic or grout, I
should have my floor done by the time I'm 96.
Then I'll retire.
