We pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in SS and can’t touch it until a certain age that they continue to change. They hope you die before you ever spend your contribution. I can’t be in favor of that. Give people access to their contribution.


Key words here Reb, " You should have access to every dime YOU put in......." Problem with SS is way too many get checks who haven't paid in a dime.



"Why do you ask"?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.
