IS , I understand your frustration. I would accept a closing out of SS, but would like to receive my residual balance in the process. Many things are out of whack with regards the oldsters. I go into a restaurant and they insist on giving me a senior discount. I don't need a discount now; when I was a young father with a wife and four children and a modest salary, I would have welcomed a discount for young families, but now I am better off than the young people, and most of the old friends of mine are also well off. Responsible folks of my age don't need help as we lived in remarkably good times. There will always be those who fail to take care of themselves, but I don't believe they should get such generous benefits from the more disciplined folks. Put them on the "poor farm" like we used to. TO hell with this dignity crap. Dignity is for folks who have earned it.
I don't think our ideas are that far apart.
Regards, CPH
PS AARP is far too liberal for me.
