SS has COLA (cost of living increases. Since 1998 SS benefits have increased every year except 2010 and 2011. Of course I am using 1998 which would be the earliest yr this guy could have retired. It also assumes he maxed out his SS every year. I think the author of this article has an agenda....
January 1998 — 2.1%
January 1999 — 1.3%
January 2000 — 2.5%(1)
January 2001 — 3.5%
January 2002 — 2.6%
January 2003 — 1.4%
January 2004 — 2.1%
January 2005 — 2.7%
January 2006 — 4.1%
January 2007 — 3.3%
