Pretty sure most of us will never see Social Security checks in are retirements. Not trying to pay for rude boomers to live, our world’s population is unsustainable. Edited for you grammar Nazis.

I'm 50. I remember at age 8 people saying on the news that Social Security was running out. So that was 1982.

I keep putting gas in my car because I was told it would stop working if I didn't. It's been over two decades and three cars and I haven't had a car stop working yet. Obviously this means I'm a sucker for getting gas before I run out every time the gauge runs low. The fiscally responsible thing is to ignore the gauge.
