Welp, soulreapersteve, just you wait until you get your SS statement at age 66 (if there is any left in that fund).

So, you will be able to see how much you have paid in over the past 50 years and how much you are getting a month in disbursements.

Then, estimate how much longer you expect to live.

And if you think THAT is depressing, just grab up a calculator and figure how much your account would have in it, if the amount you payed in was interest compounded over the past 50 years.

NO ...... DON"T do that ....... just be happy .........
