The Retirement Happiness Formula—And Why We Need Fair Social Security Benefits

Happiness in retirement isn’t just about free time—it’s about using that time well.

Studies show that fulfilling relationships, purpose-driven activities, and financial security are the keys to a joyful retirement. There’s also the important matter of protecting your finances and your privacy during this important time in life.

On National I Want You to Be Happy Day, consider this: Financial stability is a foundation for happiness, and one way to protect that stability is by securing your finances and your personal information. We at The Seniors Center promote Social Security advocacy for higher cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs). In addition, we offer information on how to safeguard your information from fraud.

Seniors are often targeted by scammers who use stolen details to commit fraud, drain bank accounts, or even steal Social Security benefits. When your identity is compromised, it can threaten not just your finances but your peace of mind.

Just as you take steps to secure your online information—using strong passwords, avoiding scams, and monitoring accounts—we must also safeguard Social Security with policies that ensure fair COLAs and a return to the Trust Fund model. If we don’t protect Social Security now, future retirees could face an insecure financial future.

Protect your happiness by protecting your financial future. Need help with this crucial task?

Help The Seniors Center Protect the Future of Social Security

The Seniors Center is committed to finding solutions to strengthen and protect the Social Security Trust Fund. Social Security is a contract between citizens and the government. Money deposited in the Trust Fund should only be used to pay benefits to eligible recipients.

The Seniors Center is demanding Congress finally put a stop to the careless borrowing and spending by greedy politicians that has put our Trust Fund and our secure retirement in jeopardy.

At The Seniors Center, our goal is to help seniors, and we’re doing that by protecting the future of Social Security. Retirees shouldn’t have to worry about losing their hard-earned benefits to taxes or the agendas of greedy politicians.
