In its Budget and Economic Outlook: 2026 to 2036 report, the Congressional Budget Office projected that the Social Social Security Old-Age and Survivors Insurance trust fund will run out of money in 2032. If the projection is correct and Congress fails to act, Social Security benefits could decrease 7% for the remainder of that year, and 28% from 2033 through 2036.

For many baby boomers, retirement and growing old is a frightening prospect. Gone are the days of the employer paying a guaranteed lifetime pension income.
