I'm getting to an age where I could soon start collecting Social Security here. The extra monthly SS income will feel strange, I'll feel guilty collecting it. Damn, I can't believe I'm that old already! :o(
I used to feel guilty collecting disability, but then I realized that the only reason I had to was because of what the DS-controlled Canadian government put me (and many others) through, and how little it is to other taxpayers compared to what they allow the government to steal from all of us.
I remember when a loaf of bread cost about 25 cents. Now it's about $5. Who gets all that money? Not the person who grows the wheat to make the flour. Not the factory worker who runs the machinery to make the bread. Not the delivery guy who brings the bread to market. It's the fat lazy stockholder who doesn't do a lick of work for his dividends.
A full loaf of whole grain wheat in my neck of the woods is about $3 (US) and up.
Yes, I contributed to SS all of my working life, I am contractually due that money. But it will still feel strange receiving money "for free." I've never collected unemployment or anything ever ...
