[QUOTE="Thebrownblob, post: 5812930, member: 60485"] Yes, but that’s because people like you will settle even live in their car. that’s not a judgment on you if it works for you fine, but I have no desire to do that and anyone with half a brain could’ve done better than giving that money out of their paycheck every week to the government to make next to nothing on. I never called Social Security an entitlement. Certainly work is required, but certainly people have become lazy because they think they’re going to be taken care of only to get to the end of their working career and realize Social Security barely helps you survive. It’s a poverty mindset. Which is exactly what was desired when it was put in place. Now apparently we’re stuck with it. I can retire at 55 if I so choose not because I was a high Earner, but because I was a reasonably smart investor and a high saver. The money that was confiscated for Social Security only was a burden on that goal. [/QUOTE]
