AI Summary
Social Security replaces roughly 40% of the average worker's paycheck, meaning retirees must fund the remaining 60% from personal portfolios, typically sized via the 4% withdrawal rule at about 25 times the annual income gap. This structural shortfall keeps steady household inflows moving into 401(k)s, IRAs, and index funds, a persistent bid that supports US equity demand regardless of the macro cycle. Watch any policy changes to Social Security benefit formulas or the trust fund depletion timeline (mid-2030s), which would raise required private savings and could shift allocation behavior toward equities and annuity products.
As a Research signal, watch whether it changes price action, volatility, or flows around GSPC.
