Social Security and Your Retirement

For those of you who have some kind of retirement plan in place, how does Social Security fit into it? Or, if you are retired and drawing Social Security: How is it working out? Do you expect to make any changes in the upcoming years? (Yes, this is a rather US-centric question, I'm sorry).

There was a recent question here on AskMe from a couple who, after much hard work and self-discipline, have put all of their debt behind them, they've got a good incomes flowing in, and their future is looking bright. It made me happy.

In that thread, several people brought up the importance of saving for retirement. But only one contributor made a brief reference to Social Security. Thus this question.

I'm aware that Social Security is a touchy subject: I'd like to ask that people stay away from politics and recriminations and instead focus on plans, strategies, tools, resources, and other things that might be useful to people thinking about Social Security as a facet of their retirement. Practical tales of what works and what doesn't work would be especially appreciated.
