A thousand dollars of real money in your pocket at the end of the year is not a gimmick to most Americans. For me that's two months of real rent.
Yes, but when you get ready to retire you may have to wait til your 80 to get social security. Is that a good trade off?
I'm sorry, but if at the age of 30 (my age) SS is your retirement plan, you have a serious problem. Personally I'm not counting on SS at all. Right now I don't think it's realistic for anyone my age to count on it being there and two, I find the concept rather immoral.
Dearest Bern. I'm sure at the age of 30 this makes sense to you. But,, none of us are guaranteed anything. I hope you keep your health and your ability to work for a long long time. Social security may not be much but it will buy the groceries or some medicine.
