Social Security is NOT your retirement "investment"

I am under no illusions as far as the mechanism for income and outgo but... it's still no different than an insurance policy which is paid into so it is there should it be needed.

Anything you pay into with an expectation of eventual return is an investment... no matter where your immediate money goes.

I pay into Social Security and someday should I need it, I expect it to be there. I fully expect my government to honor the contract with me as I would an insurance policy.
