Interesting to see income totals over the years also. I look way back at my early years just starting in my career and think damn, that doesn't seem like much now, but it was also 30 years ago. -

Log into Social Security and see what you and your employers have contributed over your working life. I know, I know it is insurance premiums, but man I could have generated a nice pot if I had been able to invest those on my own. -

Sounds like my sister-in-law and her husband. Funny part was when my wife (her sister) and her were going somewhere recently. she was complaining to my wife about how she just doesn't understand how they never have any money to spend. -

Agreed. Hopefully the politicians can remain the same when the time comes to make changes. If they want to yell, do it behind closed doors but be united in front of the cameras and in public. -

Greed has been around since the start of life and will be around until the end of it. -

Not how it is usually sold to the masses by politicians. Why can't I buy my old age insurance somewhere else then? Let me opt out of the government's old age insurance and let me buy my own. And why is it just for the genetically lucky? -

Agreed. I don't think it is right that someone can pay in for many years and pass before collecting a dime. Should get some sort of minimum payout to spouse or estate. Hate that you can have two elderly folk living on the two SS checks and then one passes and the income suddenly drops as... -

Recliner and recline back with some built in heat action in the colder months. -

Since have access to the info, for family health coverage with 2k deductible and 80% coinsurance from Aetna, the annual premium we just renewed is roughly $43k per year gross annual premium cost. And we have a PEO and are pooled so negotiate in larger numbers. -

You close any exemptions or moves like you suggest when you remove the cap. Where richie richs get around things is when they are "paid" in stock options or grants and then they borrow against those or something to that effect. Buffet has been a master at saying he pays a lower rate than his... -

Good gawd. Glad I am not just starting out in the workforce and in the last 15% of my career. -

Have a younger son that is the same way. Very sentimental and nostalgic. Blessing and a curse. -

Technically for a salaried employee, you'd be owed pay for the week. Yeah it is BS micromanagement in my view as someone with a lot of years and managed people. If you generally do great work and good work ethic, the person should have realized all of this and gave allowance to you. Now one... -

I know one thing I will do is for the first few weeks is ponder how the hell it all went so fast. All the things that seemed troublesome that really weren't when all said and done. I have a number of things we plan to do, including volunteering for a lot more stuff. I will sit and wait for it... -

I am sure a bipartisan deal will get worked out pretty rapidly once we get to the critical timeframe to do it. Hopefully all sides will keep the rhetoric to a minimum. -

I know a few that believe if they retire they will just die. Like that will trigger a quicker death. -

I love the state of Iowa also. Maybe a lot of nostalgia, but love the change in seasons and even a day or two where it just gets ass blistering cold and snowy. Will enjoy the freedom to travel to get away from it for a few weeks though. Or eventually do a partial winter trek to the south...
