"Middle-income Americans
between the ages of 55 and 75 are under-informed about Social Security.
This is according to a new study, which found that in addition to
misunderstanding how Social Security works,
most middle-income boomers haven't considered how much money they'll
need each month after retirement or how long they may expect to live.
Misunderstandings about Social Security include believing that
cost-of-living adjustments are guaranteed and that full
benefits will be paid beginning on the 65th birthday. Only 21 percent
of middle-income retirees and pre-retirees have discussed longevity with
an advisor and only 21 percent have calculated a monthly retirement
income goal." Thanks to the Personal Finance Employee Education Foundation.
