Assuming you are under 40, don't plan on ever seeing any of it again. Social Security is a giant Ponzi scheme, and those on the bottom now are not going to see any of their hard earned dollars again. I'm in my mid 30's and when I do my retirement planning I assume ZERO will be coming to me from SS.

People have been saying that for years, and there would be a HUGE public outcry if they suddenly stopped it.
Besides, how would they go about doing that? You can't give SS to a certain age group then out of the blue say "Ok, those born after 1960 no longer have the option of receiving SS"
The govt did get themselves in a pickle w/ SS, but I highly doubt they'll ditch it.
