Aging is something we all have in common. If we’re lucky, we’ll grow old — and this time will come around before we know it. The impact of Social Security on the aging population is significant. Now more than ever, it serves as a crucial safety net for retirees.

However, future generations may face retirement challenges unless Social Security increases with fair yearly Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs).

Inflation and rising living costs can erode the purchasing power of fixed Social Security benefits over time. This potentially leaves even responsible retirees financially vulnerable. Even those who are currently paying into the program may see funds run short by the time they claim retirement.

Fair COLAs would ensure that Social Security benefits keep pace with the rising cost of living. In doing so, we could provide retirees with a more stable and secure retirement.

Without such adjustments, future generations may struggle to meet their basic needs and maintain a decent standard of living during their golden years. If this struggle has one upside, it’s in underscoring the importance of adapting Social Security to meet the evolving needs of an aging population.
