re: #245 Rightwingconspirator

It amazes me as people stay healthy much longer, work later in life, plan on a long retirement 25 maybe 30 years-there is little to no support to start s/s later, even a couple years is somehow out of the question. What was the average lifespan when they started s/s?

I read that if you have no major ailments at 65 you have a very good chance to make it well into your 90’s, even live to be 100. Soon that will be common. Especially if obesity & smoking rates are reduced.

Because the s/s cut off is really low.

You know that, right? Why not raise the s/s cut off? It’s proportional to your income if you don’t make much money. it’s not proportional to your income if you do. That’s what I like to call completely fucked up.
