As I grew up and started my working life it was under my understanding that Social Security is tied to my years of paying into SS via my employment. Has that changed? The longer I was employed, I was building towards my retirement monies plus keeping SS $ for my predecessors. The longer I waited to retire would give me more money and SS made monies for all. It is my understanding that young people coming into the work force are not.
Story: We have a young man (40s) who has a step daughter (21) that has not kept a job since 18 (minimum of three years of potential SS dollars) for more than a few months at a time, not going to college or trades school or furthering her education in any way. If she (her boyfriend too) continues at this pace along with her peers, will not SS be in crisis? “We” you and I depend on the younger people to enter the workforce to ensure that we and them have SS available. This attached fact sheet shows many young people are receiving SS currently. They are not shoring up SS so retired peoples must share monies.
I have wanted to share this thought to my 40’ish man but can’t find a way to say it without being critical of the stepdaughter however he might not see it as it might effect him.
BTW this man has worked since he was 19, rarely misses a day and has worked at his same job since he graduated. Has so much seniority he can take multiple weeks off at a time. He works at a distribution center.
