Your Social Security Can't Do It Alone -- You Still Need Other Retirement Accounts

As you go through your career, you pay Social Security taxes. When you retire, you become eligible to begin reaping the benefits of those taxes by receiving monthly payments. For some people, Social Security will be their primary income source in retirement.

Unfortunately for most people, though, Social Security alone won't be able to hold them through retirement. That's why it's important to have other retirement income sources to supplement Social Security.
