Even though I'm in the affected category, I don't blame them one bit. In fact, I started collecting Social Security benefits at age 62 when I retired. Both because I didn't know what my longevity would be, and when the program would run out of money. I have investments, but I mostly use Social Security for my income. Call me stingy, but I paid into it for 40+ years. It appears that employers these days only match some percentage of an employee's contributions to a 401(k) plan. I had one, but I also had a retirement (pension) account funded by my employer. Companies are more shareholder-focused now, and bedamned to the employees.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
