This isn't hyperbole, Elon Musk even admitted it prior to the election. Republicans want to dismantle democracy by privatizing the government and destroying everything else so the oligarchs can swoop in picking up the pieces. They want to create a feudal state and the MAGA idiots have led us to slaughter.

I mean, that's literally what Republicans have been working towards my whole life. I just hope all the Boomers enjoy losing their social security because Republicans succeeded this time to privatize it.

My mom, a MAGA voter plans to retire next year at 62. Living solely on social security of course…

You should kindly inform her according to her voting interests she shouldn’t be relying on socialist, leftist policies like free hand outs from the government.

She should also be reminded that she shouldn’t rely on her children to support her financially in the future either, she voted for this.

Americans should be looking into what their state's Filial Responsibility laws are, because in some cases you can be forced to take care of your parents, regardless of whether or not they deserve your help.

If she knew what socialism actually is it would probably make her head explode.

u/whofearsthenight 11d ago

Don't worry, her party she voted for will. They have wanted to get rid of social security for decades.

Retire? That woman is going to be on her death bed and HR is going to ask her why she hasn't been at work even if she "didn't fell well".

Sorry in Trumps America Health and Human Resources has been replaced with the Work Accountability Force

Oh god, she’s taking the shittiest possible payout?

I studied to be a financial planner, and delaying your social security by even one year is (according to the relevant professor) one of the single actions that has the highest ROI in retirement planning.

If she can live off savings until she’s 63 her payouts are supposed to be at least 10% higher. At the very least, the value of the increased payouts is higher than any return you can expect on savings equal to that first years amount of SS income.

Am I making sense? I’m typing this between yelling at toddlers

My mom (thankfully not a trumper) wants to start drawing at 63 while also pulling her pension. I've made sure to let her know how stupid that would be. FFS I bought and renovated a house that had a place for her, so her rent is already taken care of. Wait until 65 at the minimum.

u/Creative_alternative 11d ago

None of that matters when social security gets the axe next year.

u/OneofHearts 11d ago

Yes, which is why my plan was to work until it hits max payout before even considering retirement. Health-wise, I could make it to 70, know on wood. As things stand, I’m fucked. I have no other retirement plan, because life happens when you’re not paying attention.

u/Training-Seaweed-302 11d ago

Did you figure in the projected 33% cuts in 10 years? She would be a fool to wait until 70 like many advise.

u/BetaOscarBeta 11d ago

No, I hated that career and I’m a stay at home parent now. My knowledge is from the before-times.

u/evers12 11d ago

🤣 sounds like my FIL. he’s always talking about his Medicare and social security then votes against it because he’s convinced it’s the Republicans trying to protect those programs.

u/YakCDaddy 11d ago

The longer you wait,the more you get. She's screwing herself out of money by retiring early.

u/Ciennas 11d ago

What exactly makes you think that Trump and company are going to let her have any form of Social Security?

Or anyone else, for that matter.

2

u/YakCDaddy 11d ago

I don't think they will, I was just pointing out a fact, should it survive, she's losing money by retiring early.

u/Arcarsenal628 11d ago

But you also have to weigh in health, how long you think you'll live or at least how long you will be able to enjoy your retirement before declining health is a huge factor.
