I don't agree. I don't think it is at all possible to invest SS taxes

I once did a calculation that showed I would have 4x the retirement
income
from my contribution than I would receive from SS (and the amount
contributed
into each plan was comparable). This was based on conservative returns
of 2-3% real returns.


I'd like to see that calculation. That certainly isn't what I've seen.

Check www.techcentralstation.com, someone did those calucations about two
years ago.

Then again, it all depends on what age you plan to retire and how long
you plan to live.

Pardon?
