What people fail to realize is that the taxes paid by individuals are not a savings account, but a fund to support current elderly people. I always am mystified by those who say, “I want what I put in.” lol. That’s gone to your parents and grandparents.
Back in the ‘90s, the foreman where I worked retired, and on his last day he told us younger guys “ You guys keep working, my SS depends on it…”
Now I’m retired, and I’m saying that to younger people, lol.
“ always am mystified by those who say, “I want what I put in.” lol.”
Especially with Medicare. What you put in will last 3 days in the ICU.
