Social Security

Funding Update - August 2010

Social Security has published their annual report.

They advised that Social Security should be able to pay full benefits through 2037 (and 75 percent of benefits through 2084).

That means they should pay full benefits for the next 27 years (2010-2037).

Looking at 2084, that's 74 years from now! That covers most of your kids, right?

But who believes what they have published? And the dozens of spins on the HUGE question of Social Security.

Who to believe? I don't really know.

I've copied a few sources below, I'm sure there are hundreds more out thre. You can click to read their stance on Social Security.

Nobody REALLY knows as anything can change, legislatively, any time! Right? Nothing in life is guaranteed. Period.

Anyways just passing this along. I welcome retiree comments on the bottom of this page!
