Still too young.

will still be an option by the time I retire

As I'm far too young to collect and am currently paying into it, so it's technically a subtraction from my net income right now.

They should have raised the cap decades ago. It’s absurd that anyone making under $169K contributes based on 100% of income, but anyone making more pays nothing on income over that amount.

but the ither 80% is my civil service pension, probably low hanging fruit for these thieves.

Mine lands on the fourth Wednesday, so I’m trying to keep the anxiety level under control.

My second payment.
I am worried.

I still have another 17 years before eligibility.

Your attitude is commendable.

Not optimistic at this point.

It will be going up if and when reimbursement for Windfall Elimination Provision takes effect.. I receive twp pensions plus about half of the S.S> I will be receiving in the future, hopefully.

We'll know soon if those little piss sprinklers are actually going to try to play with the third rail of politics.
They're already starting to hurt the VA. Now cut off everyone's Social Security?
