What Everyone Gets Wrong About the Future of Social Security

Many seniors today depend heavily on Social Security to cover their expenses. But if you're not expecting to do the same, you're probably in good company.

That, frankly, isn't the situation at all. And knowing what's really happening with Social Security could give you some much-needed peace of mind in the course of your retirement planning.
