My only question to kd is when you get to retirement age, are you OK taking Social Security? If so, then you are already "leaning" on other taxpayers. This isn't any different.
Now, I literally sat here for ten minutes pondering how I really feel about Social Security. I wish it were means-tested, and maybe someday it will be. In the meantime, I would probably take it but with some degree of discomfort. The $160,000 in FICA taxes I've kicked in over the years would soothe my conscience somewhat. :-)
