We're also the generation who are having to support the baby-boomers in retirement so losing out both ways;-)

Thanks! Keep working! I'm 62 and delaying Social Security since I'm not ready to retire yet. Keep in mind, Social Security is not an entitlement. The government has been taking my money since my first job in 1971 and they have been spending it just as fast. In other words, Social Security is a legal Ponzi scheme. Almost time to pay me back!

I'm 65, I signed up because I want to get some of what I paid in before the thing goes broke.

I'm closer to 62 than 61 and I'm still doing my part to support those who've retired before me. If you do your part by working hard and getting lucky enough to live to be an "old fart", you too, will get your turn at retirement!

I figure on working for about another 7 years...
Not by choice: by necessity!

Ha ha...

It's pretty interesting how much society has changed, hasn't it? I'm a recruiter for the Army, and we see this at work all the time. Believe it or not, we were using Pokemon Go as a way of finding people just a few weeks ago.

LOOK, I've worked my ass off for 45 + years so I could retire. So I'm drawing on the money that the government has taken from me for those 45 + years.

And...my generation is supporting the generation that never paid a dime into the system. The group is finally getting smaller though.

For those generations that seem to feel entitled, thanks for providing the current money that sends me the monthly check.

And just to brighten everyone's day--you know that SS and Medicare are broke. They have no trust funds put away in everyone's account. They have filing cabinets that are full of worthless IOU's. The checks generated each month come from money forcefully collected from employers during the last couple weeks, and from notes that are on daily auctions for those willing to "invest" in the US debt. Thank you China.

Is this going to turn into a generation fight?

Hate to say it, but the older outnumber the younger by a few.

We are just taking the money that we paid into the system all of our lives. PS. I am still paying because I have a pretty good part time job teaching at the University.

Like whoever said it: "The only two things in life that are for sure are death and taxes."

[Bob Denman]

Get a real job please and stop taking my tax money

I think that folks who have worked their entire adult lives, shouldn't be make to feel as if they're taking anyone else's money.
By paying into the system: they've earned the right to draw from it.

[vided]

dam right i've EARNED the right to draw SS,
45+ yrs. paying the max fica tax each yr.

[jtpollock]

I'v got one more year and I will retire and join those collecting. 40 years on one job, 4 years in the USAF and my own Business for 7 years its TIME... jtpollock

​After paying the Max FICA for 42 years I deserve to get it all back plus some of yours!
'Eat your heart out--I am enjoying all your tax money and deserve it before it all goes to one party's explosive Welfare program.

I am now paying 35% tax on my SS so it does not amount to much. Just about enough to change the oil on my yacht in the Med. twice a year. Such is life.

I agree 100%. The government is the worst at protecting my money. Gotta love the fact that $500k in a home safe makes one feel secure.

I work for the safe company that you purchased from. We just wanted to verify the combination on record so that you have a clear shot when needed and we have the correct number if you encounter an emergency. Please include your address to verify our records. This information will be kept in the strictest confidence.

Jack,
It seems as if it was only a year ago, that you mentioned having to fire your Chauffeur, and drive the Bentley by yourself...
