[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're unsustainable.

I wish they'd cut SS and let me invest it. I'd make so much more ROI. SS makes my retirement worse. [/quote]

I'm only a few years from retirement so I really don't want to lose what I've already put in to SS.  Maybe I could've invested it better but its too late.  For younger workers it makes sense.[/quote]

So you should get it because you're closer to retirement and didn't invest enough otherwise but others, shouldn't? Hahahahaha. Classic Boomer mentality of rolling up the ladder behind you as well as poor planning. Sorry not sorry.[/quote]
It's not poor planning to incorporate SS into your financial plan if it's been promised to you your whole life.  Stop the "boomer" crap.[/quote]

Oh so sorry that you didn't account for this contingency. Must suck. Too bad. That's what you voted for. Maybe you should've planned better and pulled yourself by your bootstraps. Maybe you can get one of those jobs from the illegals who'll be deported to replace the lost income! [/quote]

Do you people not read?
The PP was responding to someone who said they wished they'd cut SS because they'd do a better job of investing it. That PP then responded it's too late for that to make a difference for them because they're so close to retirement and *maybe they could have invested the social security funds better but it's too late for them to find out because they're so close to retirement*. They didn't say they didn't plan for their own retirement or invest enough others. They said maybe they'd have done better with those SS funds, maybe not.  
Damn, do you people just spout crap without actually reading what people say? You're so quick to pounce that you don't even understand the posts you're responding to. [/quote]

"so I really don't want to lose what I've already put in to SS. Maybe I could've invested it better but its too late." That means they didn't save enough and were banking on SS. That seems to have been a poor assumption.[/quote]

"It" = money that was withheld from their paycheck and went to social security. Perhaps that could have invested THAT MONEY better. That does NOT mean that PP did not also invest in their retirement. 
God you people... This is so telling.[/quote]
