When there’s life there’s hope. Thank you for all you do. Regardless what happens you will leave a very positive legacy for many many people to benefit.
I am fifty now and remember when I was a little boy listening my father tell my grandfather social security won’t be around when my father hits 62. Well, he has been collecting for 15 years now. Furthermore, I remember my father in-law telling me he remembers adults in his family saying social security won’t be around when his parents generation retire. He too is 77 and that generation came and went yet social security remains as strong as ever. I also did the math on an investment calculator. Matching up the returns and taking a 4% withdraw when I reach any age of retirement beats an average investor return. I think social security is a great program to look forward to. No need for me to waste money on the lottery. Great article!
I was born in 1975. This article rang true for me as well. Our house 24 years ago was 3x salary. I alway like looking at the relative numbers. Thanks Dick!
