I don't even figure Social Security into the equation when figuring out my retirement. If it's still there when I get there, great, if not, I wasn't counting on it anyway. I've been paying into my pension for the last 30 years. As it stands now, I can retire at 55 with no penalty and I'm 47 now. I will have 38 years in at 55 and at that time, I will assess my situation and make a decision. My plan is to get another job once retired to help defray the cost of my kids college educations.
