Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I've given this some thought. In fact about a year ago I ran Firecalc with my SS reduced to 70% of the current estimate, and my pension reduced to 80% of the current amount (80% being the lowest I have ever seen it funded).
I should do fine, but will have to skip jet setting to Paris for dinner at one of these places:

IMHO, pensions seem like education - there are people on both sides who have a vested interest in convincing us that it's all going to Heck. Our kids can't read, write and do math, and our pensions will be broke in a decade or so, if they already aren't. Usually there is some power acquisition agenda behind these people.
