All in good fun of course...

Guess I really am old and infirm.

and his CABAL as being of the opinion that they think they are the BORG.......

They and the entire Republican Party!

Welcome to the Country Club.

You da BOSS.

I'd like to see his fat ass out in the fields picking crops.

let alone a Hamberder from a dirt-clod.
He'd definitely be FIRED! in the first twenty-minutes.
Now THERE"S a Useless Eater.

lol

Now lock him up😀

that gets to park in the front row!!

Enjoy every penny of it - you've earned it.

Now you are withdrawing a little at a time.

It's about time you joined in!

For me it's been 12 years and I got a big raise earlier this year.

My full retirement month was June (66 years 8 months).

I'll remember to apply three months ahead

And I'm loving mine. No alarms, no boss and a good dog. Cruising.

by one capitalist parasite. My dad surprised me with enough to live on when he died.

However, you should feel about being a useless eater. Every bit of useless eating we do employs farmers, processors, truck drivers, warehouse people, office staff for all of this and grocery workers at the end. So have another helping and bottoms up. You're still contributing.

Could be worse. After all, you are in good company.

would be able to suck it dry for a much longer time.

And welcome to the club!!

As soon as the universe knows you have any free time, you'll get offers to fill it up


I'm on my 3rd retirement. I'm sure I'll be onto something else.

As long as my mental acuity and physical fitness holds out, I’ll be sticking around until my target retirement year in 2033.

and get out of the system what you paid in. I bet you earned every penny.

My friends call me CHER, and my boss pasted a photo of her on my locker at work. Every time I think I’m finished subbing, some thing happens and they call me back in. Now if I could just Turn Back Time, I wouldn’t need all that expensive collagen moisturizer.

Welcome to the club!!!

I envy your youth

Recalibrate your sensors for "jackboots approaching."

receiving payback for what we've earned over the years.

The single best retirement and anti-poverty plan ever created

To the club.

FFFF

I started a few months ago. Had wanted to hold out to 70 but I also wanted to start getting it before they screwed it all up. Glad I did!

You've been saving money into that account for a long time, time to enjoy it a little.

Burden On Society according to Republicans.

Is a WORK REQUIREMENT for republicans in Washington

the way Hitler did. "Eater" is "Esser," but I can't remember "useless."

(I know a guy named Esser. That's sorta weird.)

Anyway, I beat you by nine months. It's a semi-beautiful thing.

Been eating for 10 years and hope to keep eating for the next 10.

Time for me to raise hell (good trouble)!

I'm waiting until 70, since I have family longevity on my side (both parents are nearly 94; the mother of one died at 93, the other at 101).

I’d wanted to make it to 70 but after the election I knew I wouldn’t make it so I’ll be done just before Labor Day 😀. Already have received my first disbursement and Medicare card!

I'm just not starting SS yet. I have a pension from my state employment (public high school teacher & University administrator/faculty), my spouse is already drawing SS (she's 5 years older - we probably should have started drawing hers at 65, since she doesn't have hereditary longevity), and we each had $30,000 annuities, so we're drawing those down so they will vanish about the time I hit 70.

Super confusing, for me anyway!

aloha Aviation Pro. You are nothing like useless!

And extended that out to age 70 when the full enhancement would kick in and then figured out how long it would take to reach the amount for 3 years and 4 months.

But it doesn't stop there because as I would have recovered the deficit in the first few years, the full retirement benefits would continue to be paid out (look at it as two steps forward, one step back situation).

Extrapolating that data, I wouldn't have caught up until 82 and it's not a given that I will last that long even given my commitment to a healthy lifestyle.

That drove my decision.

are grifters like Trump and the wealthy tax dodging bstrds just LIKE him.

So enjoy every PENNY of it.

due to a very old judgement for a credit card debt---

however, since Social Security income is exempt from such judgements,
and all the money came from there over the past 3 months,
after some research I have hopes of getting it back....

(and this was unusual--- I've had that old judgement hanging over my head for many years,
but it was for more money than I've had in my bank account---
there were several attempts to garnish money from my bank,
for the entire amount due, but my bank previously always rejected the attempts,
and returned them to the creditor as "funds not available"---)

but this morning, I found my entire savings account emptied, $1250.01...
which I was saving up to pay up back property taxes....

My checking account was not touched,
but I transferred a little too much money to savings,
trying to avoid spending and pay these back taxes....

I am looking into poverty-based legal representation, should it come to that
but I think my bank made a legal mistake allowing this

It's my money. I earned it.

I still like to work and want to collect at 70 ( hopefully ) it’ll still be there.

It was a nightmare signing up for these programs during the reign of terror of the OPP ( orange pedophile president)

receive your Earned Benefit for as long as I have. Began collecting at 62 and still receiving at 90!

of proud useless eaters Aviation Pro!

Enjoy. You earned it.
