Social Security can be a divisive topic in the retirement space – while some rely too heavily on what benefits Social Security may provide, others are skeptical that it will provide any benefits at all by the time they reach retirement. A key detail to remember is that Social Security was intended to be a supplement, not a complete retirement solution. In other words, it’s important to understand the framework of the Social Security system, but our own savings will need to provide the basis of our retirement income.
