Why the Amish Are Laughing All the Way to the Bank
A Guide to Tax-Free Traditions
Payday is the best part of the month—until you see those tax deductions. But for the Amish, there’s one big deduction missing: Social Security. Thanks to a government exemption, Amish workers don’t contribute to Social Security and don’t receive its benefits. Their religious beliefs guide them to rely on community support and family rather than outside assistance, so they waive any rights to these benefits.
This arrangement means a slightly bigger paycheck and the freedom to manage their finances independently. While most of us watch a portion of our earnings disappear, the Amish have an extra layer of financial freedom, rooted in tradition and a self-sustaining way of life.
