Recession fears sent the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) tumbling into a bear market last year, and the benchmark index is still down 8%. But patient investors have nothing to fear from a recession. History says the economy will regain its momentum in time, and the S&P 500 will find its way back to bull market territory, buoyed by secular trends like artificial intelligence (AI).

Millions of seniors look to Social Security as an important source of retirement income. But while it's OK for Social Security to be one of several sources of income at that stage of life, it certainly should not be your only one. If you earn an average wage, you can expect the monthly benefit you get from Social Security to replace about 40% of your preretirement earnings.

And you'll likely need income beyond those monthly benefits to cover your various expenses. But what if your salary is limited to $30,000 a year? Clearly, in that situation, you're apt to have a much harder time funding an IRA or 401(k) than someone earning, say, $100,000 a year.
