Put your moeny in a personal slush fund and do not pay into the system because there will be no Social security by the time you retire.

While vivianna is likely correct that social security won't exist (at least not for the people who have paid the most into it) by the time you need it, it's Federal law that YOU have to pay both the employER AND the employEE portion. And then, of course, there's the self-employment tax to boot.Being self-employed is an expensive proposition. Hope you're charging accordingly.
