How it started
What happened
SmartAsset provides financial advice tools for retirement planning, which integrate parameters related to Social Security and utilize information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Reports show that these tools help users model retirement income, noting that Social Security benefits have lost 14% of their buying power since 2016. Furthermore, the tools connect users with vetted financial advisors to assist with investment choices.
