Emily Rogers+FollowShould You Grab Social Security Early?Thinking about taking Social Security at 62 and investing the checks? It sounds tempting, but the numbers say it’s not always a slam dunk. Sure, you get cash sooner, but you’ll miss out on bigger monthly payments for life—and you’ll have to ride the stock market rollercoaster. If you’re still working, early claiming could even shrink your checks. For most folks, waiting means more money down the road, especially if you expect to live into your 80s. Your retirement, your rules—just run the math first! #Business #MakeMoney #SocialSecurity00Share
Joseph Livingston+FollowHow Social Security Shrinks Your Grocery BudgetHere’s a heads-up for anyone counting on Social Security: those annual “cost-of-living” bumps aren’t really keeping up with what retirees actually spend on—like meds and housing. Plus, more of your benefits could get taxed thanks to old rules that never got updated. So, your monthly check might not stretch as far as you’d hope in 2026. The hack? Budget for higher bills, spread out big withdrawals, and look for every discount you can find. It’s all about stretching those dollars! #Business #MakeMoney #SocialSecurity00Share
Willie Morales+FollowWhy Your Social Security Check Might Arrive EarlyHeads up if you rely on Social Security or SSI: January’s payments are playing calendar hopscotch! Because some pay dates fall on weekends or holidays, you might see your check land in your account a day or two early. It’s not a bonus—just a schedule shuffle. Pro tip: Mark the payment calendar on your fridge or phone so you’re not caught off guard. And if your check is late, double-check your bank info and call the SSA if needed. Planning ahead = less stress! #Business #MakeMoney #SocialSecurity535Share
Diane Carter+FollowDid You Miss This Social Security Tweak?Heads up: Social Security just quietly moved the goalposts again. If you’re planning to retire soon, your “full retirement age” is now 67 if you turn 66 in 2026 or later. Most people don’t realize claiming early means smaller checks for life. So, before you start dreaming about those beach days, double-check your retirement age—waiting could mean more money in your pocket every month. Sometimes, the best money move is just knowing the rules! #Business #MakeMoney #SocialSecurity90Share
Joseph Livingston+FollowWhy Waiting to Claim Social Security PaysThinking about grabbing your Social Security at 66? Hold up! Starting in 2026, the rules are changing—full benefits now kick in at 67, not 66. If you wait, you’ll score a bigger monthly check, a 2.8% cost-of-living bump, and more flexibility if you’re still working. Plus, your spouse could get better survivor benefits. Sometimes, patience really does pay off—literally! #Business #MakeMoney #SocialSecurity10Share
Diane Carter+FollowSSI Recipients: Double Check Your $994 Drop!Heads up if you get SSI: your January payment is getting a small bump—up to $994 for those who qualify. It’s not a random bonus, just the annual cost-of-living boost kicking in early thanks to the holiday calendar. The catch? Not everyone gets the full amount, so log in to your Social Security account to see your exact number before that end-of-December deposit hits. This little extra could help cover those New Year bills! #Business #MakeMoney #SocialSecurity9425Share
vincentwilson+FollowWill AI Break Social Security?Let’s talk about the elephant in the server room: Could artificial intelligence disrupt Social Security as we know it? Economists are sounding alarms that AI-driven job losses might shrink payroll tax revenue, putting the program’s future at risk. Sure, automation could boost productivity and wages for some, but will that be enough to offset fewer workers? Is it time to rethink how we fund Social Security in an AI-powered world? #Tech #AIImpact #SocialSecurity00Share
cody79+FollowSocial Security Payouts: Are You in the First Round?Heads up, retirees! The first Social Security checks of the new year are landing in just 20 days. If your birthday is early in the month, you’re up first on Jan. 14. The later your birthday, the later your check arrives. Here’s a tip: the longer you wait to retire (up to age 70), the bigger your monthly check—think $5,108 vs. $2,831. But with more folks retiring and fewer workers paying in, future payments could shrink unless Congress steps in. Plan ahead! #Business #MakeMoney #SocialSecurity4713Share
cody79+FollowSocial Security’s Big Shake-Up: What to KnowDid you hear Social Security just got a makeover? If you or someone you know has a pension from a job that didn’t pay into Social Security (think teachers, firefighters), those old rules that slashed your benefits are gone. That means bigger monthly checks for many! But heads up: signing in online now needs extra steps, and getting help from a real person is tougher thanks to staff cuts. If you skipped claiming before, now’s the time to double-check your account and cash in. #Business #MakeMoney #SocialSecurity50Share
Robyn Anderson+FollowSocial Security Paycheck: What’s Changing Soon?Heads up if you count on Social Security: your monthly check is getting a small bump in 2026, but rising Medicare premiums will eat up a chunk of it. If you’re still working, watch out for new income limits or you could see some of your benefits held back. And if you’re close to qualifying, you’ll need to earn a bit more to hit the magic number. Now’s the time to check your online account and tweak your budget so you’re not caught off guard! #Business #MakeMoney #SocialSecurity132Share
