True. I don’t think I am a trust fund baby, but my parents were successful and allowed me a good inheritance. Nothing in the Bill Gates category of course, but enough to buy a home and have some savings. I only post this because we are rapidly seeing this sort of transfer to kids decreasing. Doesn’t bode well for future generations.

They played We Belong by Pat Benetar on KZOK

In fact, if one works beyond the retirement age, they both pay in and get payments from Social Security. While you can postpone Social Security benefit payments until age 70, after that point people who work, either for others or self employed, let the money in the front door while it escapes through the back exit.
And also the employer participation if not self employed. If self-employed, you pay the employee contribution and the employer percentage as well.
"One thing employees often aren’t aware of is that they only pay half of the Social Security tax. In other words, the tax rate is 6.2% for both employees and their employers.
Self-employed individuals are considered to play both roles. Unfortunately, this means that if you’re self-employed, you have to pay both sides of the tax on your earned income, up to the annual maximum — a 12.4% tax rate. You’re also responsible for paying the employee and employer portions of the Medicare tax, which is applied to all earned income.
The point is that for high earners, instead of a $9,932.40 maximum Social Security tax for 2023, self-employed high earners could have to pay as much as $19,864.80."
But if it's a benefit of your job, it's still your money. It's not a federal appropriation or welfare.
Heard Bob Marley Could You be Loved on KNDD the other day. 1980.
Well Pat Benetar started this thread. It has indeed ventured off.
However the subject matter in my mind is a heartbreaker. And with finances your best shot is always good. I mean it can be really fire and ice. At the end it can be a battlefield.

Pat’s music really is invincible.
Because the music industry is a battlefield.
Make me a promise in the dark that you won't reuse a song title already referred to in this thread again, OK?
Okay tough guy, hit me with your best shot. Fire away.
You did it again! Your punishment would be eternal damnation except for the fact that hell is for children.
Death is a battlefield? Or maybe a battlefield is death. I think this thread has gone off the rails.

Hey man, 'You Better Run, you better hide..'
No need to get 'All Fired Up'.
Children... this is way off topic. But it's amusing enough to let it run its course.
Careful, or you will find yourself in a "Ring of Fire".
So this happened last night:

Pat turns 70 in January. Isn’t it amazing how time flies?
