9/26/24: 23% Cut in Social Security Benefits Starts in 2034

The Congressional Budget Office now projects that the Social Security Trust Fund will be depleted by 2034, highlighting a critical and ongoing financial challenge. With benefits potentially cut by 23% for retirees, the need for Congress to address the sustainability of Social Security is urgent, particularly as many Americans rely on these benefits for their livelihoods. Plus, a listener's dilemma highlights the need to adapt investment strategies when transitioning from equities to cryptocurrencies, as the extreme volatility of crypto demands a different approach than traditional stock market rules.
