Social Security is primarily a jobs program for federal employees and a big pool of money from which Congress can borrow to fund other programs. It's only secondly a retirement program. It should be managed like an IRA.

What a useful post! Thank you for this important reminder.
I put lots of thought into how things work in the office if I'm not in -- I've worked hard over the past year to hand off things as appropriate. And it's worked -- I've just come back from a two week holiday where I didn't turn on my work laptop once! Ok, I did get one automated message which I forwarded to a team member, who sorted it out quickly without any input from me.
At home, this is something I've thought a lot about over the years. My husband knows how to get to the document where I've left information, but I haven't reminded him about it in a while so I think it's time to a) update it and b) remind him that it exists. I guess it's time to re-evaluate our life insurance amounts, as well. And there are things that only my husband knows about so I need to ensure that those are documented as well.
