Retirement Calculator - Social Security

Does anyone ever log in and check their retirement?

Assuming I make the same as I do now going forward

If I retire at 62 I get $2107 (less than 9 years)
If I retire at 67 I get $3137
If I retire at 70 I get $3929

 

Seems to be "retiring" at 62 and still working makes the most sense. This doesn't count what is in my 401k and roth accounts

That will buy a nice lunch and perhaps some pastries at this pace!

Remember you’re capped at about 21k of outside income

I think that is perfect with SS and 401k etc

You should factor in long-term care. It's expensive, and a lot of people wind up in it. I want as big an SS paycheck as possible down the road

I am 46 years old and am not counting on receiving 1 cent from SS when I finally get to retirement age.

SS is such a scam, it should be abolished and reformed without doubt

we dont have 2 kids to replace us like our parents did

These attitudes you've picked up about Social Security are exactly what will lead to them taking it away from you.

"I don't count on receiving anything!" Why not? Are you unwilling to fight for what you've been paying into, forcibly, for your whole career? With only 16 years left until you would receive benefits?

"Abolish Social Security!" Why? A few simple reforms, like abolishing the cap, could ensure its solvency for 80 years.

These attitudes are what certain politicians want you to believe, and what mega-millionaires pay them to say. Don't be a stooge.
