It does not affect my social security once I get to that age, but I want to make my savings last to get to that age.
My social security is based on all the tax they took out of all the jobs I worked in my life. But I don't get to draw on it until I reach, I think 65. I am 54. What my mom left me has to last me 12 years.
Most of our western allies don't have our crappy system. Our hospitals look like 5 star hotels, sure, but they also bill everyone as if everyone were millionaires or billionaires.
I would rather die and give that money to my best friend, who is in my will, than to make some rich asshole CEO richer.
I see no point in having a savings, to get drained by some rich fuck who doesn't need the money.
Ok, I see. It won’t affect you ability to qualify for the benefit (which is what I thought you meant), but you’ll have a harder time making your savings last long enough.
Thanks for clearing that up.
