Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date youโve ever been on theyโve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own
By the time I am 65, over $600,000 will be paid into Social Security on my behalf.
That money would have been worth $1.9 million if I had gotten a 5% return. My annual interest would be $95k.
The government promises me $3,075/month at age 67, which is $37k/year.
HOW IS THIS NOT THEFT??
