Are you in drugs?
The disability entitlements are literally handled by the same department, same people, same building and paid from the same funds.
If you want to say they are not the same - then you are just wanting to run in circles.
That's normal for the midshipman.
Are you willing to take your parents in? Grandparents also?
The vast majority of Americans have a negative savings rate. They spend more than they make.
They refinance their homes, take out 2nd mortgages, credit cards, store cards, signature loans etc. etc.
Without SS... the majority of plus 40 Americans would be bankrupt and forced to sell their homes now or in the future.
Americans are ABYSMALLY unprepared for retirement.
My parents planned for retirement. (Indeed: they are retired.) Of my grandparents, exactly ONE collected Social Security. I expect she got maybe half what her husband paid in-he never saw a cent.
If you cannot support yourself in retirement, you have probably failed in life.
