Growing old is not for sissies... and the Golden Years are not as golden as they were for past generations... from my limited perspective. There are worse alternatives though!

Yes, I understand Dave. I'm in my Golden Years as well (and collecting SS). As far as Social Security; The amount of money paid into SS by the individual (through the years) will only cover a few years of his/her retirement. After that, it's a modified government hand-out supported on the backs of the young.

Add to that, the Social Security Fund is largely nothing more than promissory notes. Our SS payments rely on current taxes. That this fund has been abused for other purposes is despicable.

Stop analyzing; just compose the damn thing!
