Serious question, I don't see why we fought so hard for them. Landlines are a dying business. They are worthless and a money drain to society. All the baby boomers retiring right now are going to tank our economy as it is!
Social security age limit needs increased to at least 73 years old. People can easily work up to 70 years old.
f*** the crusty butt retirees. They're better off than those of us who are under 30 will ever be. Cant even work at a company long enough to get a pension.

You got it backward. Everyone should be able to retire at 55 since jobs don't want you anyway past that point. We don't live our lives to slave for the rich for 44 f---ing years of getting crapped on just to get flushed in the end. And you'll never be one of these rich folk so why bother defending them? They got there through nepotism, not smarts. Screw them and their scams. And anyone who disagrees with me can spit out the Kool-Aid before you get to your 60's and realize how right this post is.
Retiring at 49 with 30 years. Planning on 10 or more contracts where retirees are taken care of.
Eat sh!t. I paid into SS with the understanding that it would be there for me at 62. That's what I expect. I also expect my retiree healthcare will be there for me when I retire to the Caribbean.
"1okl" I suspect you have parents that are working or retired, I hope whatever company they work(ed) for takes your advice and "F**k the retirees".
the retirees will be significantly better off than those of us who have still have decades to go. They shouldn't be the main concern. Im with OP. F**k the retirees
Ps for more details look at your pay stub!
I find it amazing that we actually pay people that are so stupid they don't know that we all pay a lifetime of payments into social security and Medicare.
Since you don't understand that , perhaps you don't understand that the pension and 401k match is a benefit and part of your compensation.
Compensation means the same as the word pay .
I hope this helps you understand so you don't sound so stupid in the future .
To the original poster.........you must be young and dumb! First off, companies don't want older people for a myriad of reasons......they will find a way to get rid of you legally of course. After age 55, cost of medical insurance for you paid by company goes up considerably. Wife worked in a bank for 40 years, prior to 55 cost paid by company per year was around $4000, after 55 that cost went to$13,500. Long story short by age 58 she was no longer employed along with a dozen other over 55 personal bankers. Next..at 40-50-60 age markers you will notice changes in the body, you will see! When I was young , my older co-workers told me what to expect and I laughed. Turns out they where correct. Retired now at 62, suggest you start saving and investing now as a portfolio of $1,000,000.00+ on top of SS income is needed to retire comfortably. Best of luck!
One of the problems with working to 70 or 80 is that most companies won't let you do it- even if ( and that's a big IF), you are willing and able to do it. Until then- rave on.
Agree, citizens born after 1960 should work until reaching age of 80 to receive Soc Sec. I think that will also solve the Soc Sec problems too. hahahaha
You must me young and dumb with no time working ,or you must work in a cubicle,or you must have come from a privileged family,,how much do you think older people get from social security ,
so true ! and they also get medicare
