I agree with you. I look at what I’ve contributed and have calculated my rate of return on those contributions (Heritage website).

My annualized rate of return is -2%!

If I’d have buried it in my back yard, I’d be better off. And this assumes they do not begin means-testing it. I am not old enough to begin collecting payments yet. It may never happen.

I’ve been working to invest in ways that will provide us endless cash. SS will be a bonus, if it comes.

Canada doesn’t have 25-30% of their population “minorities.” Black and non-Cuban Hispanics have a tough time entering middle-class status due to lack of skills and education compared to whites and east Asians.
