Nani 1970......I'm the tail end of baby boomer.....can truthfully say nothing was given to me... My husband and I started our own business here in Hawaii so not only did we pay our portion of social security each month, our company had to match the funds for us and ALL of our employees . WE WORKED HARD . I am grateful , after reading these posts, that my children do not resent me or my social security payments any more than I resented my parents collecting when I was contributing to the fund.. We had no choice to pay......and the little it gives me each month is nothing to live on.
.We have friends our age , like you . that are still working, in an attempt to make ends meet. Many of our friends are well off. Many of our friends have left the U.S. and seem to be quite happy elsewhere. I begrudge non of them..............
I'm from Hawaii, the land of Aloha, truly grateful to the Aina and what it provides.
