I retired in 2008 at 62. I was OK with my fixed pension and Social Security. Even in the Obama years I was OK.
Now I have to watch where each dollar goes. I barely have enough to cover my utilities as I made sure everything was paid off when I retired.
Under the original 1930s SS plan, you could retire at 62, but the average life span back then was 57 years, meaning most would never draw on their retirement.

Back in ‘66 or whenever very old, educated, seemingly serious men held up hard math and said this Medicare/Medicaid is unsustainable and will bankrupt us. They did this in newspapers and on TV … and everyone acted like it was just an opinion.I was only eight but Math was about as accurate and persuasive as you could get. Still waiting for the crash…still hard for me to believe it isn’t coming…
Then it’s working as intended. It is reducing to zero the savings, investments, property and assets of hard-working, productive Americans. The goal is to destroy the middle class, and it’s working.
At the same time the democrats are replacing the hard-working, productive Americans with dependent non-producers.
The ruling elite is protected - it will not suffer any pain from rising prices.
In 2020-22, I could afford to pay my house insurance, and insurance on my car. I take the chance, and gamble on the now to be able to make it until the next month. Good thing I own both outright huh?
THAT is Joe Bidens legacy.
Yeah but Orange Man bad
