Social Security represents more than just a monthly check for most retirees. To many, it's a financial lifeline that surveys and studies have shown they'd struggle to make do without. For 23 consecutive years, national pollster Gallup surveyed retirees to determine how important their Social Security income was to covering their expenses. Every year, no fewer than 80% of respondents noted it was necessary, in some capacity, to cover their costs.

In August 1935, the Social Security Act was signed into law, with the first retired-worker benefit being issued in January 1940. For decades, this prized social program has been providing a financial foundation for those who could no longer do so for themselves. Based on a recently updated analysis from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Social Security helped pull more than 22 million people above the federal poverty line in 2023, 16.3 million of whom were aged 65 and above.

Last month, Social Security's retired-worker benefit made history, with the average payout topping $2,000 for the first time since the program's inception. Although this represents a modest monthly benefit, it's nevertheless proved vital to helping aging workers cover their expenses.

Between 80% and 90% of respondents noted it was a "major" or "minor" income source.

Literally the perfect example of a moron pumping his bags with a blatant lie about "no debt" in $GME who has no clue what he's talking about or how real businesses work. https://t.co/ElUzB4e16G
Nothing brings morons out of the woodwork like exposing how little they understand about income statements, balance sheets, and/or how real businesses operate. The amount of copium b/c the " $GME has no debt" claim is EASILY debunked (& was months ago) is 🤌🤌🤌 https://t.co/gr8sxTXHKa
Dumbest post of the day, hands down... does the yellow highlight look like "operating leases," dumba$$? @gregs_cat It's even highlighted so someone as dumb as you can learn how to read a balance sheet. $GME https://t.co/AUktKfpjEL
