Yes, it will almost definitely change. If it doesn't then ss pays out like 80%. It doesn't just stop. But they won't let that happen.

And maybe flatten out the payout formula. Average SS earnings of $133k now payout the same as $85k.

The retirement secure act would exempt more lower income from payroll tax, increase the rate to like 7.4 per side, and also tax income above 400k. That's what's on the table now.

Payouts would go up slightly, mostly at the low end.

That's about what will happen if nothing changes. Look up the trustees report, they have a chart. It would pay out like 78%, and go up to around 82% over the next ten years or so. Don't remember after that.

But agreed they will close the gap by capping the top or adding new tax, or maybe both.

This is why "retirement accounts" are for idiots who just want to subsidize the investment management industry.

You should instead slowly accumulate conservatively leveraged investment properties. Enjoy some passive income now, and by retirement age, the loans will be paid off and you can enjoy massive cash flow without touching principal and actually leave something nice for your kids.

Guys you can pretty easily make 6 to 8 percent in local real estate with minimal draw down risk.

Also potentially tax free depending on how aggressive you want to be on your tax return. Can also make 4 percent in life insurance policies with no risk if you start when you are young and somewhat healthy.

Not flame. I’m been semi retired the past 2 plus years. If I had started earlier in real estate I could’ve been semi retired 8 years ago.

You can be a lender on real estate with a safe LTV and earn superior interest rate return relative to the draw down risk, i.e. hard money lending or investing with people who do that business locally. When done properly you can earn an equity like return with debt like risk (and if you know what you are doing in your local market, you can do it with close to zero risk). I'm in the flipping houses ecosystem in my local market and I got into that about 3 to 4 years ago.

Anybody in their 30s with decent health rating can make 4% in a permanent life insurance policy (assuming buying from a decent company). Most times, this will be backloaded on the IRR side depending on which company and which type of policy you get. Tax free and risk free. I have multiple of these policies I got one 6 years ago and then when I semi-retired, I joined the financial advisory boutique I bought my policy from and bought a bunch more and sell to clients (my client base is lawyers, real estate investors and doctors and business owners I meet randomly).

I find whole life insurance to be a very useful baseline to assess other investments -- if something isn't going to beat 4% tax-deferred over a long time frame with low volatility, then why bother when u can get that with minimal risk from insurance

Also I like the hybrid long term care/whole life policies too. It assuages my general personality/way of life of hating to waste money/premium in case I never use the long term care before I die.
