Willie Morales+FollowWhy Your Social Security Check ShrunkHeads up if you rely on Social Security: some folks are getting a nasty surprise this July—checks cut in half! The government is clawing back money from people who got overpaid in the past (think: not updating your income, and suddenly your benefits were too high). If you’re hit, you can pay back online, ask for a waiver, or brace for smaller payments. Double-check your payment date and keep an eye on your mailbox for any notices! #SocialSecurity #MoneyTips #PersonalFinance #Business #MakeMoney6831Share

SSI folks will get two payments in August (the 1st and 29th), but that means no check in September—so plan your bills and coffee runs accordingly!

nkent+FollowRetirement Rules Just Got a MakeoverIf you’re eyeing retirement, heads up: you can now wait until age 73 (and soon 75!) before you have to start pulling money from your 401(k) or IRA. That means more time for your nest egg to grow and less stress about tax penalties. Plus, Roth 401(k)s are now RMD-free, just like Roth IRAs. Translation: more control over your cash, fewer surprise tax bills. Perfect for anyone who wants to stretch their savings or leave a little extra for the grandkids! #RetirementHacks #MoneyMatters #TaxTips #Business #MakeMoney21Share
Diane Carter+FollowAre You Secretly Rich? You Might Be!Ever thought you’re just getting by, but actually, you’re loaded?

So, if you’re feeling guilty about your splurges, you’re not alone! #MoneyMindset #LuxuryShame #WealthPerception #Business #MakeMoney82Share

When the first of the month lands on a weekend or holiday, the Social Security folks send your payment early.

Pro tip: stash the extra check for next month’s bills! #MoneyHacks #SSI #BudgetingTips #Business #MakeMoney11042Share
