"Total Boomer Luxury Communism"

[ding]

Indeed, that’s the point of the thread. We’re about five years away from a great adjustment. Expect to make sacrifices.

meh probably closer to eight. But what sacrifices do you think I'm going to make? Leave less money to my kids?

About 24% of your government check.

About 24% of your government check.

And that is a sacrifice how? Literally the only sacrifice will be my millennial children won't get as large of an inheritance.

 

[Greenbeard]

And that is a sacrifice how?

Sounds like it won't be. Good news!

Short of a debauched dollar, I'm about as insulated as one can be.

My idea of changing the system is the overthrow of the US government by force. Know your audience.

And replace it with?

 

[Dagoth-Ur]

I'm not being ripped off. I'm receiving back the money that I socked away in the SSA during 47 years of work. It's my money, stolen to hold for me, so I wouldn't foolishly spend it. I've been rolling in my sweet baby's arms for 8 years now. I have actually exceeded my money (I think) and am now living pure boomer communist. I like it.

And you could have invested it and made scores more.

No, that is other’s money that was stolen to give to you.

Again I hope you end up in a nursing home being abused by those blacks you marched for.

So you are poor and racist too?

NO…..we were FORCED into Social Security. The responsible savers and investors among us would have been much better off putting that amount into our own portfolio.

So now you want to make it even WORSE by reducing our payouts?

Why not reduce the SNAP handouts by 25% instead? These people did NOTHING to earn the money they are stealing from taxpayers, and they could easily reduce their grocery bills just by cutting out soda, candy, and cookies.

There’s no “instead.” We’re already cutting SNAP by more than 20%.

That’s not a cut. It’s just that able-bodied adults won’t be able to sit home, watch TV all day, and get SNAP.

And what do you figure your out of pocket is for the useless losers to get free soda and candy?

 

[d0gbreath]

And replace it with?

I haven't figured that part out yet. I'm still working on it.

Investing is far from guaranteed profit. I'm doing well with cryptocurrencies, which is even more volatile, but being clairvoyant has been a blessing.

Only because they spent all of mine.

What did you invest in coin wise? What are you in now?

Because that won’t happen. Hell about 1/4 of snap is fraud/illegals.

BTC and ETH. I'm researching USDT now. Might give it a go, though the outlook for the dollar isn't promising for '26.
