Jeff Perry and Russ Ball explore 7 ways to save Social Security as outlined in Jeff’s recent article linked below. While there is not a single solution that is likely to address Social Security’s funding challenges on its own, there are many potential approaches to the looming reduction in benefits. To gain the public and political support needed, a combination of strategies to both increase revenue and contain cost reductions will likely be needed. There is no doubt that implementing meaningful long-lasting changes to Social Security will require public support and political courage. Whether or not President Trump and Congress will touch the “third rail” of politics or “kick the can down the road” is anyone’s guess. For the survival of Social Security as we know it, let’s hope reform is sooner rather than later. While you might not prefer some of the options discussed, Jeff and Russ make a compelling case that doing nothing is not a good plan. #FinancialPlanning #WealthManagement #SocialSecurity #JeffPerry
