Social security is going broke. It’s flush with cash now, but numbers don’t lie. It’s a mathematic certainty that it will be inadequately funded in my lifetime. It will be unable to pay out the promised benefits before I reach retirement age.
That’s why we need to fix it now, not 15 years from now. The sooner you make corrections, the less costly those corrections will be.
If you know your roof has a 20 year life, you don’t wait until year 19 to save for a new one.
