2025 marks nearly 90 years of Social Security in the United States. 

Whether you are approaching retirement age or decades from it, if you are an adult who is working and paying into Social Security, now is a good time to start thinking about Social Security. Jacky Myers with Social Security says creating your own mySocialSecurity account is a great way to start planning for the financial independence you one day hope to achieve through retirement. 

Over the years, Social Security has adapted to the way a lot of people conduct business, and that is from the comfort of their own homes. Myers explains Social Security has done a lot to make conducting business with them easier.

You can also start or change your direct deposit. Myers points out this is for Social Security beneficiaries only.
