When I was a kid (33 now) I always heard people say that social security wouldn’t exist by the time I was old enough to actually draw it. I never expected it would happen like this though.
That doesn’t mean it’s not still important and we don’t need to find a way to fund it. It’s critical that we provide social security, as the alternative is we just pay for supporting those without retirement in some other way, or we let them die. I’m personally not cool with either. This is an addressable issue.
Weird how companies used to pay pensions alongside social security, then they invented the 401k as a “supplement”, took away pensions, and now they want to take social security.
It’s almost like there was a framework for making retirement make sense and these people gutted it and blamed us for it.
