Hello everyone, I am your old friend, today let's talk about a topic closely related to our wallets - the social security adjustment in 2024. When it comes to social security, it's a "safety net" for our retirement, but you know what? In some cases, our money may be wasted. Next, I will give you a detailed explanation in easy-to-understand words.
First of all, we have to understand that social security is a long-term investment, not a one-time deal. As the old saying goes, "a little adds up to a lot, and a drop of water pierces a stone", right? But if you fall into one of these four categories, you may need to reconsider your payment strategy:
1. **Approaching retirement age**: If you are in your early 50s and approaching the statutory retirement age, it may not be cost-effective to pay social security for those years at this time. Because receiving a pension mainly depends on the length of service and the number of years of payment, paying a few more years may mean taking a few more months, it is better to keep this money for the elderly.
2. Freelancers or Flexible Workers: If your monthly income is unstable, it becomes a problem if you can't afford to pay your social security contributions. In this case, you can choose to pay the minimum monthly standard, or consider participating in the urban and rural residents' pension insurance, which is determined according to your financial situation.
3. **Good physical health**: If you are in good health and expect to be self-sufficient in retirement, then the need for social security is discounted. Of course, it is still recommended that you pay, after all, social security and accidental medical insurance, just in case.
4. **There is already alternative protection**: For example, if you have an enterprise annuity or commercial insurance, these supplementary pension plans can cover a part of the social security, then in the case of a limited budget, the payment of social security can be appropriately reduced.
Remember, social security is for our old age, but it's not a panacea. Everyone's situation is different, so let's do what we can and choose wisely. As the old saying goes, "you can't put all your eggs in one basket", the same is true for financial management, and diversification is king.
