text:  I'm a Generation X-er. I doubt very seriously in 10 years or so when I'm 65 that Social Security, certainly I've never thought of relying on Social Security. I've never said, oh, dude, I'll just cruise right through my life here, and when I retire, I'm going to sit back and enjoy that sweet, sweet Social Security. Which, by the way, after paying into it since 1982, I think I'm right at $1,100 a month.
