I didn't see anything on this site related to SS.

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


Pardon?

SS keeps paying for as long as you live. So if you live to be 95, you
can easily collect 30+ years of SS payments. If you die at 65, you may
collect very little. The amount you collect compared to what you payed
in is your effective earnings. The longer you live the greater your
rate of return.

Hell of a crap shoot.

I intend to die at 90, in bed with a 21 year old nympho; my wife tells me
I'll be lucky to live 'til my next birthday.
