I'm almost as close now to the age when I can start drawing social security as I am to the age when I started saying things like your comment :) I've only become less convinced over time of the likelihood that SS payments will stop at some point. There are various kinds of restructuring I could envision, but I really don't see any mechanism by which SS payments entirely stop without replacement. We would let the real value of the payments inflate away way before we'd legislate them away. There's just no political mechanism by which that legislation could be passed.
