@SeanTrende This is a solvable problem. Increase the earnings cap. Gradually raise FRA to 68. Modestly increase the tax rate, and modestly cut benefits by slowing the growth. Solved. Medicare is the real problem, it’s a much bigger and harder to fix problem.
@lorahmoe Had this exact thing happen at a gate once. Guy ran up as I was waiting on a standby upgrade as they were about to close the door. Immediately laid into the gate agent who told him there were no upgrades left. He boarded in a huff and then she gave me the last remaining seat.
@SeanTrende for 35 years; and 2. Delay collecting until you were 70. I don’t disagree with your fundamental point, but your data is imprecise at best. Social security is solvable with some political courage. Medicare, OTOH…. 2/2
@SeanTrende When you say 7% of earners get the top benefit, I don’t think that is accurate. To get the maximum benefit of about $62k you would have to 1) exceed the earnings cap every year for 35 years. Social security says 6-7% exceed the cap in a given year, but far, far fewer exceeded 1/2
@PNCBank I paid off the payoff amount on my HELOC per your website. Apparently that payoff amount doesn't include "trailing interest" so I owed a few dollars. Now I got a late fee. At one point, your rep told me, "You can't pay it off online, you need to send us a check."

I spent the last three days learning about aortic disease and getting to know the other John Ritter Aorta Advocates. We can prevent aortic dissections! I’m living proof. Thank you @AmyYasbeck4real@JohnRitterFdn@MeredithONeal9
