3,011 is maxed out, retiring at 67? so you work ostensibly from let's say 27, for 40 years, maxing out your contributions, and you get a whole $3k a month. That, if you have other sources of income like a 401K or an annuity or anything really, will likely get taxed again.Quote:

Do you think you could live off $3,011 by the time you are actually getting SS? I would bet with inflation in the 20-30 years until you start to collect SS that that would barely cover rent unless you live in a cockroach infested shit hole.Quote:

They are not getting the 3K
Ah, so what we have here is a bunch of folks who want to shit all over Social Security, because they can't imagine stooping down to live anything other than a lavish lifestyle. I understand now. Most Americans don't have a silver spoon up their ass, or an annuity from some well being parent to afford hookers and blow.
Yes, it is perfectly reasonable to expect someone to live off of $3k a month, which is enough to pay a mortgage payment on a $250,000 mortgage at market rate and be able to afford household costs and incidentals.
rofl what? Saving money for retirement over the course of 30 years isn't a "silver spoon up their ass", it is called retirement planning. People who aren't fucking retards do it.Quote:

I couldn't find a video of the Clinton impeachment articles being handed over where they showed the entire 5 minute walk it took for them to physically walk to the Senate.Quote:

And lastly I couldn't find any pictures or videos at all of the Speaker of the House handing out the pens he used to sign the articles with all while smiling and laughing and then posing for selfies with the people holding their pens.
I'll assume though you have actually seen all of this and aren't going by some bullshit left leaning rag you read an article from online.
