The Social Security Administration recently announced a cost-of-living adjustment of 8.7% for an estimated 70 million Americans collecting Social Security benefits.
The bump represents the largest raise since 1981 for the program that older adults depend on to ensure their economic security, and it comes as many are feeling the sting of inflation, everywhere from the grocery store to their monthly energy bills to the gas pump.
The proposed reforms don’t sound very fun: Raising the retirement age, trimming benefits, increasing payroll taxes, or some combination of the three. You might not have much control over any of this, but there are ways to shore up your own retirement savings accounts.
The best option when it comes to supplementing Social Security income is to invest in other plans. If you worked for a larger company in your life, you likely had access to 401(k), 403(b), or 457 plans. If you worked on your own, you may have contributed to an IRA, or perhaps even a solo 401(k) plan. Whatever the case, diligent saving over time might exceed the amount you'll draw from Social Security.
