Robyn Anderson+FollowDon’t Let Social Security Trip You Up!Thinking about cashing in on Social Security early? Here’s the catch: once you pick your start date, you’re pretty much stuck with that monthly check for life. Claiming early feels good now, but it means less money every month—forever. Plus, spousal benefits and working while collecting can also lock in your future income. So, before you hit “claim,” take a coffee break and double-check your plan. A little patience now could mean a lot more lattes later! #Business #MakeMoney #MoneyLifehacks20Share
