They've been forecasting the end of SS for 40 some years now. so far it's still around.
you can do anything you want, make 3 days a week your days off and ignore the phone. HOWEVER remember that everything is a trade off, a compromise.
If you take sun/mon/tue off and don't return calls/emails until wednesday some of those prospects will have gone elsewhere, some will have experienced a less than stellar communication speed from you. May not matter to you, to your bottom line, to your happiness.
I think parts of the earth will become difficult places to live - lack of water, cost of water, recurrent flooding, fires, 120F temps in the summer are pretty much a given now and will only get more so over the next 10, 15 years.
The fix is simple..but nobody is willing to make the sacrifice - yet. The transition would be horrendous - but temporary. To go on the way we are is less painful now but long term, it's gonna be a lot worse.

You see people...Were all F***ed in the future!
Social Security will be gone by 2036 unless Trump and his team can figure it out because I know the politicians, and our typical government won't be able to.
I know I won't be able to retire. Also, by then the polar ice caps could melt, and The Earth could be a rough place to live...Why work my tail off 60+ hours a week. Working crazy hours is for the young and hungry to get experience under their belts. At 34, I'll pass. I want a solid 2 days a week off, and on weeks where I end up working 6, I want to be able to take another day off the following week to keep things balanced. Working 6 to 7 days every week all the time? Nope...Done with that at this point in my life. I want to work enough to live, not work my life away.
I also actually agree with Proformance on his assertion that
"retirement as the financial sector would have us adopt it is the biggest economic lie of all time.
"
...and I don't agree with him often at all.
