This might make many of you hate me, but this ponzi scheme should have never been envisioned in the first place.
And I for one resent the fact so much of my money, plus employer match was put in this farce, that could have been saved and invested in a much more prudent manner. I once back calucated that if I get an overall 1% return after tax, I'll be lucky.
I saved enough where I don't need it, and when I do get it shortly, it will be a slap that this piddance will be now double taxed, and at its incremental higher rate on the tax tables. Many in the day of FDR should have been burned at the stake for duping the public in thinking that good old fashioned hard work, saving, and investing could be subsituted to a socialist system destined to suffer demographic failure.
It should be destroyed, but a nation now reliant on entitlments, and the cowardly pandering pols will never let that happen.
Yeah, call me cold and heartless, but I don't care.
