Same here. I remember Barry Goldwater saying in '64 that SS wouldn't be there when I retired. I believed that so I planned and saved for my own retirement. Not upset that Barry got it wrong though, actually quite happy I believed him and prepared.

I now understand why my financial advisor kept asking me every year when I was going to retire. Should have taken her advice and retired years ago.
