I'm Gen X and am not counting on a single penny from SS. I've planned and budgeted accordingly. I hate to think of it as a sunk cost, but I've come to look at it that way.


I'm 60 and expect to collect on it as soon as I decide to stop work after 62. While I agree something has to be done, it can't be done for people within 20 years of retirment.

YTD, me (and my employer) have contributed $258,502 on my behalf. Ignoring the time value of money (which you cannot), if I retired at 62, I would be paid out in just short of 84 months (8 years) at 70 y/o.

Correct.
But ignoring the time value of money is the only way anyone can claim you'd be "paid out" at 70y/o
