On the Role of Social Security: “It’s probably the best fixed-income position you’ll ever have.”



I really, really like his position here. This is where outside-the-box thinking comes into play, and it's absolutely true. Any relatively dependable, constant income stream should be considered as a part of an investment portfolio, and factored into asset allocations.




I agree, totally outside the box thinking. The only thing that keeps me from completely buying in to his point is my doubts of Social Security benefits being sustainable. However, I invest as if SS will be gone by the time I'm eligible for benefits, if it's still there when I hit that age, I'll consider it a bonus.

It's definitely going to be around, IMO. Whether that means less payouts, or some new way to print money/inject cash... America's faith in government relies pretty heavy on the success of SS.

But anyways, Bogle is my homeboy. Now if I could conclude whether or not I agree or disagree with his standpoint on indexing vs active management.
