It is downright amazing that some posters actually believe that Social Security was ever meant to be their sole method of retirement income during their retirement life.
It was and is a supplemental source of income based upon your work income during your earning years.
What ever happened to the idea of putting something aside each payday in a savings account or investment income?
Even the 401k plans from your employer helped by matching your investments into the 401k as did IRA accounts.
Stop blaming the Social Security System and point the finger at yourself if you do no have enough savings to get you through retirement.
