Why You Should Care About Social Security's Looming Insolvency, Even If You're Decades Away From Claiming Checks
You may not get benefits yet, but if you're working, Social Security changes still affect you.
Overview
If you're not currently claiming Social Security benefits, it's easy to feel like the program's looming insolvency isn't something that concerns you. A possible 22% benefit cut in six years may be devastating to a senior who relies heavily upon their checks to cover living expenses. But it may not make much of a difference to you as a working adult, especially if you never expected to get anything from the program.
But what's happening with Social Security does concern you, even if you're decades away from signing up for benefits. Washington isn't likely to allow a 22% cut, and the reforms it enacts to keep the program going could have a direct impact on your finances in the next few years.
