[Bon mots]

042 is the number of someone older than 55 and younger than 63. Barry’s ss# should start with a 5 at the lowest

That is incorrect.
042 simply means it is from Connecticut.
I am 51, born in Connecticut and my SS number starts with 042.

Funny, Obama NEVER lived in Connecticut.

I’m not on the BC band wagon. But why are myself and my daughter, born 35 years apart but in the same city, assigned SS## beginning with 526 and 600, respectively?
