I am Gen X but I listened to those boomers. They were right.

Why didn't you pay into social security before 30

There is a point when you make so much money that you no longer have to contribute to SS.

Perhaps you have not done that yet.

I have been working since I was 16.

My parent s have over $2 million in assets. Only my Mom has a college degree.

Amazing huh. Well not really.

I am old oil field trash who listened to those boomers when they told me to invest young.

There is a cap that resets annually.

You only get around SSI by earning only passive income.

Link? Where did I blame anyone?

I do very well for myself and am quite successful. I am also fortunate to have been given help along they way to get were I am.

I am not too proud to admit that I got lucky to get where I am. I am grateful for that and have and continue to help others around me.

What’s your average interest rate from 79 to present? Even at a low one, I’m over 2 mill into Medicare alone. And I’ll keep paying in on premiums after I retire.

Give me that money pretax (as you would health insurance premiums) and it’s probably 4.

Let me invest it on my own, and it’s probably 6.

And this does not even include my wife.

Now remember that I won’t get the bulk of my medical expenses paid until my latest years, which means more value accrual to the government (and you), not to me. No matter how you slice it, I’m paying for other people’s Medicare. It’s a terrible, terrible deal for me.
