And in three years, I will get a SS payment of $1160 a month. I will be allowed at that point to also stay working until I'm 68 so that I can finally get vested in a pension at my employer (unless they lay me off or force me to retire). Then I can retire with a pension of $422 a month. LOL.

It hardly seems worth it, but I guess it's better than nothing. Low paid all my life, lower-paid even in retirement. But my work isn't hard or physical, so that's a blessing. I can't imagine waiting tables or anything that required me to stand all day (like cashier work), or actual manual labor. We shouldn't expect Americans to literally work themselves to death.

and draining the swamp are really all about to the likes of Moscow Mitch,
drumph, the kochs and the other oligarchic would be rulers; and if we don't
stop them it will get worse. Either their vision of the world goes or ours does.

Now on SS, but it's not enough. I have to work part-time. Since I'm sure prices will go up, I may have to go back to full time.

... every time I see a Walmart greeter or McDonalds burger flipper older than me. And I see them all too often.

are about to be wrung out and drained by the GOP warmongers that have been allowed to seize control by foolish voters and a greedy, treacherous ruling class.

Pensions are disappearing, and it's harder for people to save because all the gains go to the top now - 401Ks are at the mercy of the stock market and we have seen what can happen there. Regular savings get dismal interest. And younger folk are even more worse off because they are being saddled with so much debt just trying to get ahead.


America's entire retirement system needs to be revamped - it's not working for the majority of people
