You should learn about cross-domain solutions, typically 'trusted gateways" which to one extent or another allow (very carefully) data to flow between the networks.
There are probably about a half dozen accredited solutions, depending on how high you want to connect. DoD & NSA are very active in seeking/implementing better solutions to give access to data across between the different security levels.
You may save and plan your own retirement as if SS isn't going to exist, but I don't know of a legal way NOT to participate in CONTRIBUTING to SS my most ordinary people in the US.
You'd be foolish not to set aside money for retirement on your own, but you will still pay into SS.
Oh, and a comment to a few other posts -- SS isn't "savings" it is a pay-as-you-go system. Your money goes to those collecting now. If they were really saving our moeny, there wouldn't be quite so much worry about there not being enough for us when it comes time for us to collect. We're depending on people not even born yet to work & pay into the system to feed, clothe, diaper, and otherwise care for us.
