A guy who works for the SSA told me just a couple weeks ago that SS recipients will get their full benefit until 2023 and 75% after that year. I don’t know where he is on the totum pole as to his knowledge of such things, but I sure had to bite my tongue.
I will be THRILLED if I get to collect 75% of of my currently promised SS payment. Just THRILLED. I don’t expect anywhere near that amount. At 53 years old, I think it will come down to your income and net worth and those that have too much of either or both will be body slammed to let the ones who didn’t save or blew it (or just plain met with misfortune, bless them), to collect their full amount, which will be needed to survive.
