Social Security is a major part of my family income but not all of it. Thankfully, I have been receiving payments since I turned 66 and was still employed so I stashed it away in a money market account at the local credit union. I also have a private pension which is not as large as it could have been because I took a chunk of it out and paid off the mortgage so now I only have to be concerned with taxes. (And upkeep of course.) I started my SS account when I was 16 and I don't recall ever being upset about the fairly small chunk of my income that it saved away for me along with a similar amount paid in by my employers over the years.
Thanks, Don A., first of all for being a faithful reader but also for your insightful comment. I actually waited until I was 70 to collect so I get quite a nice amount. And Medicare has been very good for my healthcare. Hangin’ tough is our motto!
Good advice, Roberto. I really know how to pinch pennies and will continue to do so. But having paid into FICA all my working life, he’d better not touch my money!
Resist Ignorance! Resist False Superiority. Resist False Allegiance. Resist False Health”Care”. Resist “CrowdThink”. Then maybe, you can sleep at night…and live to fight another day.
I’m sleeping very well every night, Don. I’m not quite sure why you read my post or what your message is but we each have to make our own sense of life.
