My "pay" increased from the $50,000 salary I was making in 1976 as a
senior account exec at a DC 4A's advertising agency to $155,000 in fees
and commissions the next year as an independent marketing consultant. Of
course, I had to pay both sides of Social Security taxes that year.

I was disillusioned by the "corporate world" in the 1980s when greed
became the only driving force behind many corporations. By then, I was
10 years off of steeenking corporate payrolls.

Show us your SS statement, the one they send to you that shows your what
you will get when you retire. It has a list of your maximum social
security income for all of the years you have worked.




Sure, Bertie, I'm going to produce documents for your reading pleasure,
right after I put you in my will.

Nobody believes you.

I will tell you I've had about 35 years paying the maximum FICA
contribution. If memory still serves me, I could have been receiving a
SS check last year of $2300 and change.

Nobody believes you.

Hey, it's not my fault you are an underachiever, and I earned more in
the late 1970's than you earn today. Had you gone to college instead of
joining the marines, you might be doing better, too.

Nobody believes you.
