You're not special.

Betch ya I've paid more in FICA than you.
Ok, I'm not special...?

It's possible you have, doubtful, but possible. If so, awesome. The one difference may be that if I never receive a dime of SS, it won't hinder my lifestyle in the least. Can you say the same?

I sure can and therefore your complaint about not receiving what you contribute is moot..yet you're complaining..which is it?

Actually, that wasn't my complaint. You're mixing up your opponents. And your ability to thrive in your golden years doesn't make his point moot, at all.

You seem to be confusing "complaining" with "pointing out inconvenient facts".

Complaining would require me to actually give a shit if you and the rest of the workaday chumps have comfortable retirements. I don't. Consider it a warning, not a complaint.

Awesome, welcome to the ranks of the financially secure. I wasn't aware from your previous posts that you were working with north of a million dollars in assets. Well done you.
Millions? You mean billions!

Couple more days, and that fridge is full again for another 30...

Social Security is a major target for cut backs in the future. The older you get, the less you will have if your guys have their way. You might try a meal of pilot bread and dog food. That's the future you'll have if your guys do exactly what they say they will do.
I have little doubt my dogs eat better than you. If I don't cook for them then they may get mc nuggets or cheeseburgers without the bun. One day a week they eat dog food or not as they please. As for me I will eat the cod from long johns, spicy chicken from popeyes but I make my own sides, maybe one time a year I will get a pizza. That is as low as I go. and I don't do that often. I have eaten the best food in the world and in all of the top places in my state. But a lot of times I like plain old down home things like pork chops or fried chicken with mashed potatoes, rolls and corn. My sister on the east coast does fedx soft shell crab a few times a year. But most of the sea food I get is frozen, other than that I get top notch stuff. The cost is not a factor.
My overhead is taxes, insurance, utilities and gas. My house, G8 16,000 mi, 2013 Altima SL 13,000 mi, 2003 Silverado 2500HD 6L vortec 121,000 and my 1990 station wagon 351 Windsor with less than 4,000 on long block crate motor and rebuilt trans. has maybe 98,000 mi. ALL PAID FOR.

I should have said some of the best. I love a variety, When I get a hankering for something its the best at that time. If I think of London it maybe fish and chips. England is not a place I think of for food I could think of at least 15 countries I had rather go to eat. If you asked me where most of my worked silver was made it would be London. If you asked me what food I ate most often it would be corn.

Ok, so you don't care if others have to eat dog food because SS benefits are cut. Nice of you.

While abalone may be good it wouldn't make my top 10, truffles are more of a seasoning.
Oregon truffles in a white sauce with dungeness crab meat over fettuccine. Sprinkled with a little chopped parsley. We've trained our dog to sniff truffles out. I catch the crab while SCUBA diving.

Also, keep the truffle in a sealed jar with a mild white cheese. The cheese picks up the truffle flavor and the truffle can be used in another dish. A little truffled cheese sliced very thinly with a good bread. That's living.

maybe you didn't have the abalone prepared properly. Commercial abalone are really small, ~3" diameter. Wild abs can only be harvested recreation-ally. Minimum size is 7" but a good diver can get them much larger. A slice will fill up a plate.
