Unless there is a dramatic economic collapse due to climate change or global thermonuclear war or whatever, you should be able to plan on receiving more than 50% of your benefits. Of course in case of collapse like that my 401k probably doesn’t keep its value either...

- DuskStar 7y agoIt would be wonderful if that 75% number pans out! But at the same time, I'm still going to do my retirement planning assuming that Social Security dies before I'm able to withdraw a single dollar. Pessimistic assumptions are a good idea in situations like this.
