I've been paying into Social Security since I was 15 years old and should get a nice monthly benefit once I eventually decide to claim it. Having said that, just because I'm anticipating a Social Security benefit after I retire doesn't mean that I'm counting on it exclusively, or even for the majority of my income in retirement.

It's hardly a secret that retiring on Social Security is not an ideal situation. Those benefits will only replace about 40% of pre-retirement wages for average earners. And that doesn't account for potential benefit cuts, which may be on the table in about a decade's time as Social Security's trust funds run dry. But it's not just that Social Security benefits only provide a limited amount of replacement income.
