Young workers face stark Social Security reality
If Congress doesn't act, Social Security benefits will face a 23% across-the-board cut in 2033, according to the 2025 Social Security Trustees' Report. That's because the Social Security trust fund is projected to be depleted by that year. In other words, less money will be coming in than going out to pay 100% of total scheduled benefits owed to current and future beneficiaries. If the past is prelude, Congress will act at the last minute to make changes – but likely changes won't affect those in their 40s or older or those with income below certain thresholds. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter That's sort of what happened in the 1980s. In 1983, Congress enacted reforms that were designed to address Social Security's short-term crisis and provide solvency for the next 75 years. They achieved this primarily through a combination of increased revenue (higher taxes, taxation of benefits, expanded coverage) and modest benefit reductions (delayed COLA, higher retirement age). So, let's say some brave souls rise to address Social Security's deficit between now and 2032, and let's say Congress, instead of doing what it did in the 1980s, just cuts benefits that will affect those in their 20s or younger, as well as those not yet born. Well, as an experiment, I made the assumptions below and then asked Google's AI (Gemini) to run the numbers. Assumptions and key data points Starting Year: 2025Current Age: 25Starting Earnings: $100,000Retirement Age: 70Life Expectancy: 95Historic Average Wage Index (AWI) Growth: Approximately 4.5% (based on historical data, though this can fluctuate significantly).Historic Average Cost-of living-adjustment (COLA): Approximately 3.8% (since 1975).Discount Rate for net present value (NPV): We'll use a real discount rate, which accounts for the time value of money beyond inflation. A common assumption for long-term real discount rate is 2.5% to 3%. We'll use 2.5% for this Retirement Age (FRA): For someone born in 2000 (25 in 2025), their FRA is Retirement Credits (DRC): For those born in 1943 or later, DRCs are 8% per year (or 2/3 of 1% per month) for delaying beyond FRA up to age Security Maximum Taxable Earnings (Bend Point for Earnings): For 2025, this is $176,100. This amount also grows with the AWI.2025 PIA Bend Points:90% of the first $1,226 of AIME32% of AIME between $1,226 and $7,39115% of AIME above $7,391 And here's what Gemini calculated. Without a 23% cut in benefits, the estimated monthly benefit for a 25-year-old today would be $25,232.26 in 2070 dollars. And the net present value of that stream of benefits to that 25-year-old in 2070 would be $5,392,977. Related: Social Security faces huge threat sooner than you think If, however, that very same 25-year-old experiences a 23% cut in benefits come 2023, here's how their benefit and the net present value of their benefits would change. Their estimated monthly benefit at age 70, in 2070 dollars, would be $19,428.84, a cut of $5,803.42. The net present value of those benefits would be $4,151,592, a difference of $1,241,385. By way of background, in January, Social Security estimated the average monthly benefit to be $1,976 for all retired workers, $3,089 for a retirement-aged couple with both receiving benefits, $3,761 for a widowed mother and two children, and $1,832 for a retirement-aged widow(er). In April 2025, people in the United States received Social Security benefits, according to the Pew Research Center. This represents more than one-fifth of the U.S. population and includes retired workers, their spouses and children, survivors of deceased workers, disabled workers, and those receiving Supplemental Security Income. Typically, Social Security represents about 14% of total income in retirement for those in the highest income quintile and 64% for those in the lowest income quintile. To be fair, there are multiple levers Congress can pull to address the deficit. As they did in the 1980s, Congress could increase taxes and reduce benefits. More Personal Finance: Social Security student loan garnishment sparks alarmThe most tax-friendly states for your retirement incomeSALT income tax deduction takes critical step forward "If policymakers chose to preserve benefits for older workers and retirees by placing the burden on younger workers through benefit cuts rather than increasing taxes (either by increasing the tax itself or by increasing the level of Social Security earnings subject to the tax), that plan wouldn't work soon enough to fix the problem with the next seven years," said HLS Retirement Consulting President Heather Schreiber. "However, on some level, the changes necessary to bring about meaningful change are likely going to be on younger generations, whether that comes through a combination approach of reducing benefits, as in your example, and some faster revenue raiser like increasing cashflow into the funds to avoid imminent benefit reductions to OASI recipients," Schreiber said. For the sake of argument, let's say Congress pulls only one lever in the future: They just cut benefits for younger and not-yet-born workers. What advice do experts have for that cohort? For his part, Jim Blankenship, a certified financial planner with Blankenship Financial Planning, said the advice for this cohort remains the same, even in light of the potential reduction in future Social Security benefits. "If you're still many years away from retirement, the key is to start saving early in retirement accounts. By doing so, you'll benefit from the power of compounding over time," he said. To maximize your savings, Blankenship said look for ways to reduce discretionary spending now. Related: How the IRS taxes Social Security income in retirement "The goal is to build enough of your own resources so that you're not dependent on Social Security - and therefore not vulnerable if those benefits are reduced from what's currently projected," he said. "If you take these steps and rely primarily on your own savings, any Social Security benefits you receive will simply be a bonus." And Schreiber offered the following thoughts. Start saving earlier and more aggressively. Maximize opportunities to save, especially in tax-efficient accounts like designated Roth accounts, if offered inside their employer's 401(k) or 403(b). Max fund health savings accounts (HSAs) if available in conjunction with participation in a high-deductible health plan; encourage young workers to refrain from spending the funds for current qualified health care expenses and instead earmark the account for post-retirement health care expenses. A 23% cut in lifetime Social Security benefits can't be ignored, but its impact can be mitigated if young people are encouraged to start saving early and should incorporate lower projected benefits into projection models to better prepare for the worst-case scenario. Incorporate other sources of guaranteed income to bridge the gap, such as deferred income annuities or laddering younger workers to not focus exclusively on the accumulation "number" but to also determine how much that wealth will generate in future income, and incorporate the potential impact of taxes into the conversations. Start conversations early about tax efficiencies during retirement to avoid even further reductions to the net income received from Social Security due to unintended federal income taxes and Medicare premium surcharges, or costly health care/LTC with a benefit cut, younger workers should still understand that Social Security is not going" broke" and that, with life expectancy on the rise, particularly for this cohort, the benefit of waiting to claim as late as age 70 will help mitigate the benefit cut, assuming a slightly below-average to average life expectancy.
