Social Security Retirement Estimator

A new Social Security retirement benefit estimator just went online this week at ssa.gov .

For my students, none may yet have the 40 credits (a credit is, essentially, a calendar quarter of work), or 10 years of work, necessary for retirement benefits -- so this estimator may not, for them, be personally usable.

Retirement must seem a long way away for my students... Oh, was I EVER that young???
