I was asking - do you think those that will be eligible for SS in 20 years are out of luck? At 15 years out they should be okay? Or some variation in between?

I am 30+ years to collecting. I will collect it, but it may trigger Roth withdraws to be taxed, or I might be paying tax on 100% of SS.

The government will find a way to keep system afloat- reducing benefits and raising retirement ages along the way.

I think the system will remain but will be modified. Being 25 years out, I expect there to be changes between now and then. Probably some combination of reducing benefits, raising taxes and raising retirement ages.

I'm 30+ years out and I'm guess it will be means based or something the draw, though I pay into it. DH and I are under 30. So for us no way. Right now the earliest we could draw is 62, but I bet by then even "early drawing of SS" will be 67 and normal might be like 70 or 72.
