I'm certainly not counting on getting any SS monies, even though I've been forced to give tens of thousands to it through the years.

And if I do get a check, I will dump every penny of it into a Porsche. The wife already told me I could do it if we kept saving for our retirement the way we've been doing

Haha there you go. personally if they were to take these monies and invest it for the people I would be down for that. Being, what you put in is what you get out. but otherwise the current system is crock. Much like how most companies go for a 401k approach rather than the old pension.
