Two out of 3 Americans view Social Security as one of the most important government programs, according to a recent AARP survey. 1/3 of those taking social security rely on it for 90% of their income. While each recipient’s situation is unique, requiring personal planning and analysis to ensure a successful retirement, we can get the conversation started by addressing the basics.
Will Social Security be enough to live on in retirement?
Probably not. Social Security should make up 30-40% of your retirement income. Your benefit amount will be calculated based on what you earned over your working career and the age that you apply for benefits. In general, social security is like a fine wine – the longer you wait, the better it gets. Add in a spouse and the planning gets a bit more complicated.

Rather than try and depend on unreliable opinions and advice from friends, cousins, co-workers and that overly involved neighbor, get the facts from a reliable source that can further help you secure your retirement.
