I recently learned that SS benefits are taxable. Seems like a double whammy.

Yep! Someone will point out that I need to account for that in my early retirement calcs, but since I'd either be using SS or taxable IRA withdrawals for my spending, it's a wash.

And I'm not sure it's a double whammy if you consider SS payroll taxes a "tax shelter" like a 401k that has to eventually be hit with taxes when drawn upon.

So should I wait til I'm 70 to collect or not??

I ran the numbers not long ago, since I'm within 5 years of age 62 now.

Should I collect SS at 62? 67? 70?

The pros of waiting (higher payout) have to be weighed against the cons (who knows how long I'll live, the gubmint holding my money even longer, SS solvency concerns).

So, I verified the math...

If I take out at earliest age of 62, and invest all of it until 67, I'll come out ahead as long as I get at least 7.00% annual return.

So, I plan to start drawing at 62.

As for solvency of SS, it's probably going to be achieved by the 3 part cocktail: print money, raise the minimum age to draw, raise the SS payroll tax cap.

So even y'all admit its temporary. Your arse whippings will resume in March.

How was Geraldo?

I can't think of Geraldo now without seeing Jim Carrey's impression.

My default response is "NOPE" with a matter of fact tone and that usually gets them moving to complete the transaction.

What's even more annoying to me is when CVS or Tractor Supply want me to donate to save handicapped puppies. Hey, I have my own list of charities I support. Now's not the time. Just let me get my wife's CBD gummies and or laying hen medicine and leave.

Welp. Been nice knowing y'all. Next time you see me will be on Dateline. The wife did it!
A coach taking his players with him is so unbecoming.

I remember hearing something about her (Marilu Henner) and Judd Hirsch, which I thought was odd, but Andy Kaufman, Christopher Lloyd and even Danny DeVito...? Oh man...

Must've like getting plowed, lucky bastards,,, She was so fine back then...

I mean, she was a stripper before getting a break in acting.

This is why I never head to the beach without it...

I hate it when the word "incident" is used in situations like this. The very use of that word for this heinous act seems like gaslighting.

Not a guy I'd ever consider in the conversation for best athlete.

Mondo Duplantis is definitely in the conversation.
No kidding.

Here's a recent SECr tard thread from last week on the topic.
