Do you plan to collect social security when you retire?

Similar questions: plan collect social security retire.

The well will be dry.... I fully expect that in 2032 when I am first eligible to collect Social Security that there will be none to be had. All my productive work years with exorbinant taxation will be used to pay the baby boomers their Social Security (no offense), and when I retire there will be nothing (or very, very little) left. So I am planning for my retirement as if I will only have myself to depend on.No government assistance.

No return on all the taxes I paid over the years. And yes, I am a cynic.....

If I don't, I'm going to be homeless - I did have a pretty good 401K going about 4 years ago. However, the company I worked for clients' paid for our services with government grants. Bush cut the funding, and out of 40 people, 35 of us got laid off on Christmas Eve.

I took me 4 months to find another job, so I had to cash in my 401K, taking a BIG loss, to have money to live on. I do not make enough money now to save anything, so if social security disappears, I will be the crazy lady you see pushing a shopping cart.

Yes, but it won't be my only form of retirement income I'm a federal employee, in the FERS retirement system. I will get retirement money from at least three sources. My FERS retirement, Social Security and the Thrift Savings Plan (government's version of the 401K).

I also have a Roth IRA. No one should depend solely on Social Security to fund your retirement. Some will say that it won't be there - and it might not, depending on your age.

I am 49, so I expect it to be there for me.

No While I do not consider myself a Liberal, I am a humanitarian. I will have plenty of money without drawing SS. So I think it's in the best interest of others for me to not take the payments and leave something for those who have been less fortunate than I..
