Recommended: Retirement planning conclusion

Aging American must now secure other streams of income for retirement to secure their lifestyle.
In her article, ‘Understanding Retirement Planning’, Sue Haggerty stated that “the most important aspect of retirement planning is understanding what your income replacement rate needs to be during retirement in order to maintain your pre-retirement lifestyle.” Consequently, knowing the replacement rate helps put the retirees in a position to avoid cutbacks. Haggerty conveyed, ordinarily the retiree does not need to have 100% of their pre retirement income after they retire due to the fact that Retirees do not have to pay into Social Security. Additionally, since they are retired there is no need to spend funds on work-related items. Surprisingly, …show more content…

  • Responsibility Taken by the Federal Government: Social Security

    1352 Words  | 3 Pages

    In America’s early days before the kickoff of industry, there was little need for retirement savings for a few key reasons. First of all, people were dying at a much earlier age; most people didn’t live past 38, whereas in 1900, 60 years of age was common for about 40 percent of the population and 15 percent experienced 80 years of life. Another reason for the irrelevance of social security in the 19th century and earlier was that people were usually living rurally on farms with extended families to take care of them. Furthermore, the Civil War also didn’t allow the government much economic room to consider providing a service such as social security. However, after the Civil War, pensions were a form of social security for civil war veterans that carried into their retirement. Unfortunately these pensions provided support for only a very small portion of the population; not even one percent of Americans received these pensions. Despite a much lower need for social security in the 18th ...

    The Social Security Act was enacted in 1935, and since then it has undergone numerous revisions and amendments. Today the act covers a wide range of benefit programs, including Medicare, unemployment compensation, and Supplemental Security Income. The major portion for which the Social Security Act has become known, however, is the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance program, or OASDI. While today the OASDI program is most frequently referred to as “Social Security,” it is only a thread in what has been called the “social safety net.” Therefore, throughout this paper, it should be understood that Social Security will be the term used to refer to all its encompassed programs as a group, as a matter of convenience.

    This summation of the state of Social Security was written more than a twenty years ago. Looking back, it seems as though the Social Security system frequently reaches a state of crisis in which predictions of its end arise. Since it was enacted in 1935, Social Security has been amended often, most recently in 1983, when Congress imposed a tax on the benefits of high-income retirees, raised the retirement age, and revised the tax-rate schedule.

    Social security, since instituted in 1935, has kept many elderly people from running below the poverty line (Hosansky). In 2015, the Social Security Administration predicted that the funds would be depleted by 2034 (Max). This poses a serious threat to the living situation of future generations when they retire. Our elderly, by today’s standards, enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. They are able to retire and still make over one thousand dollars a month. Some people also have private pensions which allow them to live even more comfortably. But with social security funds running out, we must ask the inevitable question. Is it worth having social security anymore? Social security should be kept. One must never fully rely on social security. In addition

  • The Importance Of Funding For Social Security

    328 Words  | 1 Pages

    Funding for social security becomes an important issue because the life expectancy has increased drastically since the initiation of social security. Individuals are able to retire at age sixty-five, the same age they begin receiving social security checks to provide them with the money needed to survive. The retirement age is now an issue because the program designed the age of retirement over twenty years ago which is significant because it is not designed for people to live much past eighty. Social security’s greatest obstacle is the shift in life expectancy because “most babies born in 1900 did not live past age 50, life expectancy at birth now exceeds 83 years” it is so difficult to accommodate and raise enough funds for individuals to
