Just for fun, get your most current SSI statement of all your wages and SSI withholdings since you started to work. Then find a good "retirement calculator" on the web and use an annual return of just 6%. Are you better off with the current system or would you be better off with a private retirement account?
Please help me. Could you make me aware of what I could have safely invested in that could have yielded just 6% for the past thirty plus years? I'm sure many others would like this info as well. Is it too late for young to climb aboard?
