    Free advice, don't play in the stock market.


    What about people who say Social Security is unnecessary, instead
    invest in the stock market?

    Well, I am OK with continuing Social Security but it's financial
    problems need to be understood and shored up.  Too many workers
    lack the discipline to save for their future selves.

    But workers need to know that Social Security is very bare minimum.
    My Social Security benefit payments to me are less than I am getting
    monthly as my Minimum Required Distributions (MRDs) from my Individual Retirement Account (IRA / from 403b).

    Odds are in the future the SS will continue to fall further behind.
    The newer, younger workers are likely to be unhappy and very hesitant in their votes to endorse raising the Social Security withholding tax
    for it to be immediately just given to Boomers.
