I read an article years ago about a South American country (can't remember which) where there was a social security type of deduction taken from paychecks. This money was invested and the employee had some say in how or where it was invested. On average, most workers were able to retire after 20 years with over a million dollars of their own money. Compared to here where money was taken out in the 70's, 80's or 90's when everything cost less and money was worth more, and able to buy much less now, this showed how things could be and how much we were being taken advantage of. Add in the fact that our SS money has already been spent by congress. Then add the fact that your age of eligibility had been figured so that you will not be able to collect some if not most of YOUR money that you had no choice to keep and it puts our dismal system into perspective.
