12.4% has been SS tax rate since 1985. I was making 1000 per week as a journeyman plumber at that time. There are 4.33 weeks in a month.
$124 x 4.33 = $537.32 per month.
This is a low estimate since I had to pay in more as my income increased.
Historical return for the S&P 500 since inception is over 10%.
True ROI of S&P from 1985 to present is 11.60% per year.
Again a low estimate as I used 8%.
In my calculations money was added monthly instead of weekly which would have had a better dollar cost average.
My Costco experience was pretty easy. During Covid.
Dealer lady called me- We're your Costco dealership, what you looking for?
Me- 1500 4x4 crew with long bed. RST or TB.
Them-All we have right now is a 100k Black Widow.
Me- audible sigh.
Them- let me see what I can find.
Them- Found a 1500 LT TB long bed. Manager says we can remove the dealer mark up of 5k.
Me- See ya in an hour.

If you have to hide the meaning of something in it's name, it's probably horseshit.
@0nlyk1tt3n I was the lift on our boats for 30 years. My wife and I loved it. I would even recommend it to you guys out there with able bodied wives.
She never weighed more than a 110 lbs when not pregnant so I also had that going for me.
F em if they can't take a joke. Both sides, all sides and everyone in between.
I think people like you and I don't make these kind of jokes because of respect.
Melania, Michelle, and all the kids are off limits to me.
Hillary stepped into the fire and was fair game. Chelsea was not.
There are some weeds I choose to stay out of.
@FuggumOfficial@RandPaul If X existed 40 years ago Ron Paul would have made the exact same post.
Go watch the Reagan/Carter debate from 1980.
These people have done nothing but talk and make things worse.
@ghosting_kens@woofknight Narratives are interesting things.
20 years earlier this is how he met his wife, same story except she laughed, fell in love with the "asshole" and married him.
Now they replay it whenever possible while buying dogfood. It is fun and they make strangers laugh.
@horsetwting Even the Vikings from Greenland and Iceland said "nah"
Can you imagine if they would have had the idea to just sail south along the coastline for a few months in 1000 AD.
