My point is to prove that the entire program is a rip off and that Elon and Doge are doing good work. If anyone here is on social security your input will be beneficial. This will all be done off national average and the results will be posted here once done. I hope it helps someone or at least opens minds to how Governments are not good at investing your money. Of the which, I am sure you already know. But this will be shared with libs too. Numbers are facts and do not lie. Thanks in advance.

Can you compare your findings to what a person would have in compounded savings if they had made a fixed monthly deposit for 30 years into their own private account? Great idea!
That’s the main goal fren. What a person could do themselves with just a simple trust type fund.
I bet it’s apples to seeds. Our wealth has been stolen from us and it starts in schools where we are brainwashed to just do what everybody else does.
Socialization and group cohesion, is for the birds. Everyone should be edgy and different and not be expected to learn to work together towards building a sick ass nation. It would work out just fine im sure.
All those years of being the richest most powerful country on earth were done wrong. We shoulda vibed it.
So you're saying that the Wild West had it right???
Thanks, and kudos for thinking for yourself....
i did this comparison 50 years ago....much better to invest yourself. However, what I personally, subsequently, learned was when times got financially tough ( like the Carter Administration years of 22% interest) I needed to use the accumulated SS monthly savings for supporting my family. I think if my monthly reinvestment had been into an untouchable long term Bond or CD-we would be having very Happy Retirement Years now. I applaud you for doing this.
