In those circumstances you are choosing to spend more. When you're car breaks down and that's 1 or 2 whole paychecks worth, that is not a choice. (223)

"Because you have to pay for people who didn't plan." You mean people like me and my four and a half year old who didn't plan on my wife dying of cancer. Yeah, we're such buttholes. How could we not think of you first? (22)

He does have a point though, with inflation spiraling out of control social security gives you a lot less than just putting in an index fund would. Five dollars now will not equal five dollars 40 years from now.

The solution is to let people opt out of SS. If someone is an r-slur who both opts out and doesn't save, then tough luck.

SS is a progressive system and relies on high earners to keep itself afloat. If you let the people who miss out on the most to opt out the whole thing would collapse.
Also you'll still get bleeding hearts. Just look at our medical system. Some idiot will go without insurance, get a huge bill, then complain about the injustice.

Social security is r-slurred. I'm glad FDR was physically and mentally crippled. He should have gotten burnt during one of his fireside r-slur rants.

What kind of idiot wouldn't pay $1.9M to ensure that he won't starve to death in the streets in their old age? This boomer is being saved from being able to gamble away his life.

Are you absolutely r-slurred? Literally just save your own darn money, you don't need some jackass to steal most of it and maybe give you back enough to eat rice and beans

It is always a choice. When I was broke and my electricity was about to be shut off I still invested once a week even if it was only $10-$25.:

This isn't a great example but yes it's broken. My mom worked her whole life and only gets $800 at 73 because she worked low wage jobs without a degree. Chicken and egg bullshit coz they say had she earned more. My dad died and had SSDI and my mom couldn't get it as a survivor benefit and he barely didn't meet the basic SS requirement because he did too many cash jobs during his career since the low wage jobs (a fricking TEACHER) didn't pay much before he got cancer and couldn't work more. This shit is fundamentally broken and sadly no one cares. Old people who worked their whole lives shouldn't have to live out their cars:

What โs insane, SS # used to be only for SS purposes. Now it's like a national ID. Stolen. ID stolen. Financial fraud. Yes it broken and it's just a slush fund. I'll pay in my whole life and get shit in return. Better system?: Gov takes money, same rate, and gives back at retirement to you or family at the same rate at US bonds. No one can steal. If you die your family gets it. As is. If you die, they keep it. That's a crime. Most goes to welfare and illegals who pay nothing.:

What your selfish WIFE didn't think about when she was freeloading with her CANCER is that u/MD28A can no longer afford his SUMMER HOME in MONTANA and now has to wake up in a MILD SWEAT in April because he FORGOT TO TURN THE AC ON LAST NIGHTHow could you SSI-collecting leeches not think of the poor BILLIONAIRES and the MILD INCONVENIENCES that they now have to SUFFER through due to paying into the SYSTEM? Do you have any idea how hard it is to remember to turn on the AC before the first day of 80 degree weather???:
