Why Most Retirees Rely on Social Security Over IRAs
Original: Why Social Security Remains the Main Source of Income for Most Retirees Instead of IRAs
A new explainer examines why Social Security, rather than individual retirement accounts, remains the primary income source for most American retirees. It points to the limited reach of IRAs, since many workers never contribute enough or lack workplace access, while Social Security provides guaranteed monthly benefits that form the financial backbone of retirement for the majority of beneficiaries.
Why now: Retirement security and benefit adequacy are ongoing concerns for aging Americans and policymakers.
