Social Security Basics: More Than Half of Americans Failed this Very Basic Test

This has been around awhile, but it’s still amazing to see that so many folks (well, 1500 in this sample anyway!) in the age range of 55 to 65 were unable to correctly answer a series of 12 basic questions about Social Security. The test was put together by MassMutual some time ago, and administered as an online poll. Just for kicks, go ahead and take the quiz displayed in this post by MSNBC Personal Finance Reporter Lorie Konish (CLICK HERE)…the answers are shown at the bottom of the post, so don’t scroll down until you’ve taken a shot at the questions.
