james73+FollowSocial Security COLA Could Shrink in 2027December’s jobs report is a wake-up call: unemployment just hit 4.6%, the highest in years, and hiring is basically on pause. If this trend keeps up, inflation could drop in 2026—which sounds good, but it means Social Security’s 2027 COLA might be tiny. If you’re on Social Security, enjoy that 2.8% bump now because next year’s raise could be a letdown. Slower inflation = smaller checks, but at least your money goes a bit further! #JobCareer #SocialSecurity #COLA106Share
Willie Morales+FollowHow Much More Will Your Social Security Stretch?Heads up if you’re living on Social Security: your monthly check is getting a small bump in 2026—about $45 more if you get $1,600 now.

The catch? You need the discipline to actually invest, not spend. This flips the usual advice on its head and taps into fears that Social Security might not be around forever. If you’re eyeing early retirement, ask yourself: Will you invest every check, or just spend it? #Business #MakeMoney #SocialSecurity21Share
