Social SecuritySocial Security
Our government has a system which essentially forces you to plan for retirement – Social Security. Social Security provides a government – guaranteed lifetime stream of payments adjusted for inflation for retirees. Social Security protects against a variety of risks and disability that leads to lost earnings, the death of a working spouse, etc.
If you choose to work after you finish school, part of your wages will automatically be put into Social Security. You have no choice in the matter. It’s a government – regulated program. Your contribution depends upon how much you earn. Of your gross salary, 7.65% is deducted from your wages and your employer pays an equal amount! This goes into the Social Security Trust Fund.
How Much do you get? How Much do you get?
Your benefit rate depends on the amount of earnings reported for you. Right now, benefits payable to a retired worker who reaches 65 range from $500 to $1,000 a month. If you still have dependents, the rate increases
The laws governing Social Security and other retirement funds are very strict and complex. When the time comes, you will need a greater understanding of this process.
What you need to remember is – your quality of life at retirement is up to you – plan now.
