Why Social Security, Not IRAs, Funds Most Retirees
Original: Why Social Security Remains the Main Source of Income for Most Retirees Instead of IRAs
New commentary from Investopedia explains that Social Security remains the primary income source for most American retirees, outweighing withdrawals from individual retirement accounts. The piece highlights that many workers save little in IRAs or 401(k)s, lack access to workplace plans, or tap savings early, leaving government benefits as their financial backbone in retirement.
Why now: Ongoing debate over retirement adequacy and the future of Social Security funding keeps the topic in the news.
