Social Security and Your Future

I am always reading about the future of Social Security. Recently, I read that in 2016 we will begin paying more in benefits than we collect in taxes, only 7 more years. Without changes, by 2037 the Social Security Trust Fund will be exhausted and there will be enough money to pay only about 76 cents for each dollar of scheduled benefits.

Saving is even more important and in this economy even harder. But, it is essential that we save which for most of us means to stop spending. The money to save has to come from somewhere and if our economic situation does not change, then not spending is our savings program.
