Nope. Hard NOPE. Social Security is funded and will remain so long after you're dead. People like you have been saying this every year for last 50 years that I am aware of and they continue to be wrong.

I mean, if you say so? It's a giant ponzi scheme. I'm not even 40 and I know there's no money coming to me.

You don't know crap. Read the notice on the SS website. This is a fully funded program. People are sick of all the conspiracy, right wing, cry baby whining. It's tiring and a waste of all our energy that could be put towards the good.

"As a result of changes to Social Security enacted in 1983, benefits are now expected to be payable in full on a timely basis until 2037, when the trust fund reserves are projected to become exhausted"

After which benefits will have to be cut by 13% or federal payroll taxes raised by 14%. I lean more left but social security will look nothing like it does now by the time I get to see any of it. It won't run out but it will likely be severely diminished.
