Topix Underground

I took Social Security at the earliest possible moment because I know I'm alive right now. I don't know if I'll be alive at 70. Ten different people will give you ten different opinions on that. I can't live on what it is now and probably couldn't live on what it would be if I had waited until 65 or 70...whatever it is. But it helps...a lot. We're all healthy and working anyhow. I guess in a couple years I get Medicare...for whatever that's worth. I don't know anything about it. I don't even know what the difference between Medicare and Medicaid is. They should make all this shit simple. All of the various 'parts', 'enrollment dates', those non-stop commercials about 'advantage'.  That's exactly the kind of shit you want to retire from....dealing with circular bullshit from some giant bureaucracy run by people that get their jobs by political favor or quota rather than qualification.
