October 11 - Online Discussion Question 2

Why should you not depend on Social Security when you retire?

14 comments:

  1. Social Security is based on your income, so, if you're retired, how will you be making money? Also, by the time any of us (students) retire, there most likely won't be any Social Security based on what the government is saying. So, if you begin investing now, you will more than likely have more than you need to retire when that time comes.

  2. You shouldn't depend on social security when you retire because the government is not always dependable. You should start investing in retirement money now, so you have more than enough when you need it.

    Because social security is from the government and it will change constantly. The money also is really small.

  6. Because as time goes on, that program will probably no longer exist. Even now, it's uncommon to find a job that includes Social Security. We need to work on investing and saving our money, not just rely on the government to take care of us.

    1. Its uncommon to find jobs with Pensions. You are required by law to pay Social Security with every job. Each paycheck the government will withhold an amount to later give you in the form of Social Security

  7. You should not depend on Social Security when you retire, really at any time, because the government gives it out and the government has a reputation for not being that trustworthy. Social Security is not found very often anymore. You should invest your money know for retirement so that you will have a substantial income when you are older.

  8. You shouldn't depend upon Social Security because the government cannot be trusted with money, especially yours.
    You should invest and save your own money instead of relying on the government.
