Reply #36: what about us relative "youngsters" collecting disability?

[dysfunctional press]

i'm 46, and had to start collecting on what i had put into the system by age 36- and to top it all off, one long-since bankrupt company that i worked for screwed me over by not paying into the SS what they took from my check- an amount that represented 12% of my "retirement" money at the time- which means my already meager monthly check is actually 12% lower than it should be.

and oh, yeah...i have NO recourse. as far as the SS is concerned: "shit happens"
