Yes, it's almost a no loose situation.
Our son, who works for the SSA says if you plan to live on SS you are in trouble, if you view it as a supplement in retirement, you're most likely in pretty good shape.
He said when he worked in field offices you'd be surprised at how many people are shocked when they learn they won't be able to live on SS alone in retirement.
