Certainly you should plan on getting Social Security. There is zero chance Social Security will go away, except in the fever dreams of Paul Ryan, who just retired.

The precise inflation adjusted return you’ll get on this social insurance scheme will be very low, and the retirement age may go up a bit, but unless we get effective immortality in your life time, the US can just pay for Social Security out of general funds.
