🛡️ How will the projected Social Security cut affect your retirement?

Finn

This calculator is a handy tool for estimating how a potential Social Security benefit cut could impact your retirement plans. It clearly breaks down your projected monthly shortfall and calculates the exact monthly investment needed to build a bridge portfolio. The default cut is set to 20%, but you can easily adjust it to the 22% mentioned in the description or any other scenario. Keep in mind that the math doesn't explicitly adjust for inflation, so you might want to use a conservative "real" expected return (like 4% or 5%) to ensure your target portfolio maintains its purchasing power.
