>>Yeah... and I'm not as good at this as I should be. Based on my current calcualations, I should be able to retire when I'm about 627 years old.

hahaha. Well by the time I can collect social security it probably won't exist anymore - and even if it DOES exist - mine will undoubtly be all screwed up anyway. ahhh yes, nothing like having a twin sister. Victor and Victoria - our social security numbers are one digit apart, we have the same birthday, same middle initial, etc etc etc. Heck I was 14 years old, made like a whopping $3200 the whole year - and got audited by the IRS! Every year they think we're the same person trying to cheat on our taxes. You'd think they'd figured it out by now, but noooooo. Needless to say we expect issues with our social security later in life.
