Fwiw, I just recently applied for my ss benefits, fear mongering articles like this one had assured I might never get approved in my lifetime. That was hardly the case. The time frame of my (on-line) filing until my first deposit was three weeks three days. No issues and my benefit actually came out a few bucks higher than the estimate.

I keep reading about all these cuts. I bet I have wasted over 20 hours of my life (probably way more) scouring articles that talk about cuts. Yet when I study them, I never see anything about actual tangible cuts, it’s just endless verbiage about stuff that isn’t even remotely related. At this point, I have pretty much tuned out.
