I don't understand why you and 'Zig don't think that will continue.
And I can only assume that you are thus independently saving 10-20% of your gross income every week, taking care of yourself, because you "know" you won't have social security to live on - right?

Riot this may be your worst post yet. When did I say "in the next couple of years" when i clearly wrote 2036 in my post. it is you that is mistaken.
and yes.. right there in the LETTER THAT SS SENDS YOU EVERY YEAR it said that funds will be low by 2036 and that I would be getting $700 per month instead of $1000 per month. So stop lying already Riot. And I'm not old like you are so I wont be even collecting until 2045 but probably later when they raise the ages over and over I'll probably be collecting in 2055.
You think $700 will do ANYTHING for me in 2055???? Consider inflation and that $700 I'll get when I'm old will be like getting $350 per month to live off in todays age.
And I do know I wont have social security to live on. unless i want to live in a daggone cardboard box. And no I dont save 10% of my gross income. I dont make enough to do that. I work in insurance, I'm not a vet or anything.
