But that's us. Have others used Soc. Sec. for other needs or wants?
How about Medicare? Did it have a big impact on you when you joined?
The SS is just spare cents for entertainment. No one could live on it without other pensions, savings or income. Medicare is ok but had better insurance when I was working. Neither is a big deal
