Have you logged in to your Social Security account? Creating an online account at SSA.gov is an important first step in understanding your retirement income situation. However, only about 60 million of the 160 million individuals in the U.S. labor force who have Social Security accounts have created a way to access the Social Security Administration’s website.
At SSA.gov/my account, it’s easy to create an account, even if you have no patience for online machinations. Logging in allows you to find out how much you’ve paid into Social Security in your lifetime and so far, this year. These are basic facts about your retirement that you really ought to know about, particularly since you’re paying for the government to provide this service for you.
