I was born in the mid 80s. My first taxable income was a paper route at the age of 9, and I’ve been working ever since.
Also hoop, since everything in your world seems to be fair and square in regards to SS, where do I sign up to receive a refund on behalf of my father in law? He worked full time from the age of 16, only to pass from a heart attack a week after he retired this summer. He never got a single SS payment. So where’s his money?
