[QUOTE="db-2, post: 221760, member: 4743"] I am one that will complain about the young, able to work, who work the system and get welfare. They only work hard at not working. Since 1969 the wife and I have made a little over 3 million. Not one dollar of assistance even when we qualify for it. During that time we along with our employer have paid a touch under $400,000 into SS and a bit less in federal income tax. Today we receive $3,418 in SS benefits. That is after they take out $259/month for medicare of a total monthly health care bill of $700. Using 3% since 1969 and 3418/month, those SS funds will last until I am 89 starting at age 71 before all gone. Not sure where one would find 7% over that time frame. Now there is more to these numbers and other consideration not in this calculation. So my 22 my dad gave me when I was young, my Roy Roger's double holster with twin RR cap guns, my Red Ryder guns, my slide rule from high school, my fire truck I got before I had a memory, my S&K socket set my father gave me at Christmas my senior year, my trike I got for my 4th birthday and others will not be turn over to the nursing home to sell to get me and the wife another day. They will all disappear long before that. Most of our assets are in the form of cash and yes they will get a big share of that until it runs out. Depends on how much cash is left, when we go and if we go. I have no problem in bitching and then trying to keep mine. We work for ours from day one. And then the welfare next to me comes to my home and takes. When I catch the cops nor the judge will do anything. In my age of 40 I finally got a new 500cc liquid cool sled with cash . Before a year was up the system decide the welfare could keep and drive. But last night I did reread this topic. I find I have only begun to prepare the family for our death. The wife and I have a lot of work to do, communication with the kids and with each other. She asked me to quit working and then find a place for us to die and get bury at. Our goal is not to enter a nursing home. Many do not and I know many who at best spent some time in comfort care before passing on. There is a couple in town who both turned 98 this spring. Every evening at 5 they drive to the bar, she drinks coke and he a hard drink, they have a pizza and then drive home. Hopefully one of us is able to care for the other if need be. db-2 [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Broken back only wish I could give you more than one thumps up. We both got old and seen to much. db [/QUOTE]
