But if they do?...
I want a chance to retire in a few decades

Make financial decisions with the assumption that social security won't exist when you're elderly. if it still does, then great you're totally set, if it doesn't....you're prepared.

What that means in practice is beyond doing everything you can to own your own home, no matter how small or crappy it is... divest yourself as much as possible from the economy. Save feverishly, cook everything at home, minimize your entertainment spending, don't travel.... Just put as little money into the economy as possible. Not only will it help you save up money, it'll hurt the corporations and rich ass holes that perpetrated this upon us by cutting into their profits. Think of it as an act of peaceful rebellion. Young adults are doing it in China already, it's called the "lying flat" movement, and it's panicking their government.
