So, do I get back everything I paid into it for the past 40 years? Is that part of the plan? If not, who gets that money, let me guess.
I just retired after 40 years at over company, plus some college jobs. I'm 62, and social security was one of the things in my plan that made me decide I could retire My company was laying people off; I was secure, but my leaving allowed one more person to keep their job.
Now Trump is tanking my 401k and Elon is taking about cutting SS. I've never been more stressed about money.
Welcome to the financial life of a millennial who are experts at living in poverty thanks to the economy boomers like you benefited from. I wish we had an economy where a milkman salary could pay for a house and family like it was when you were growing up.
Me too! I've voted consistently liberal, including for every minimum wage hike on the ballot. Also, I'm on the very trailing edge of the boomer generation, and much of the era you're talking about was before my time. I did reasonably well because I was a computer science grad when that was an earlier thing, but still, I had it easier than my kids (who we've tried to help a much a we can).
