Social Security Announces Lowest Cost of Living Adjustment in Four Years

GUEST: Jenn Jones, VP of Government Affairs, AARP   TOPIC: Each year the Social Security Administration announces the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for the upcoming year. Last week, leaders announced a 2.5% COLA for 2025. That is smaller than recent years – attributable to slowing inflation.   COLA increases are meant to offset rising prices including food, gas and living expenses. This year, retirees on a fixed income have struggled to keep up with inflation and the 2025 COLA is expected to provide some relief.   Schedule Your Meeting:[email protected] | [email protected] | (612) 286-0580 Subscribe to the YouTube Page:https://www.youtube.com/Allthingsfinancial  About Guardian Wealth Strategies:Today, Guardian Wealth Strategies serves clients in the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, across the upper Midwest and throughout nineteen states nationwide.
