I think there should be a chnage in SS

[heretheycome]

Not to start a war but, I have always had a good paying job. My husband died when my son was 6 and until he is 18 he will receive a SS check. Now many of you think he should get this as it was my husband's money. I have recieved so far over 100,000 dollars tax free threw the years. We have another year and a half to go. This money has allowed him several avantages. Private school, most of his attire and private tennis lessons. The SS dept checks on me once in a while to see if there are any savings or am I using it for the house. I always reply back no savings, using it for the house.

When I first stated receiving the checks I remember saying to my father, why am I getting all this money as I can afford to take care of my son. My dad explained SS was set up for wives who didnt work and it was up to the man to bring home income. So this is suppose to compensate for it.
If it wasn't for Reagan he would still be getting his check threw college. I think this will be one of the big changes in SS. If you make over 6 figures or have so much material things you should get denied a check. For the younger crowd below 30 they will get to invest their portion. I am not so sure that is a bad idea.

Us baby boomers do and always have been relying on our SS checks. I think it should only go to those who need it. If you own multiple houses and you have successfully invested in the stock market or something else then you shouldn't get one. Give more to those who need it.

Just my thoughts as unpopular as they sound.
