Let us say that in a little plainer words. If you put X amount of dollars into Social Security and you were born in 1970, what that says is you would have to live to be 110 years old until you got that money back. That is not in real dollars, that is in dollars from 1970, which means you would probably have to live to 130 or 140 to get it back in real dollars, not counting earning any interest on the money that you had invested.
