Christine Baxter+FollowCould Your Social Security Check Shrink?Heads up: Social Security might not stretch as far in about 10 years.

If you’re planning on those payments, it’s smart to start thinking about extra savings or maybe even a side hustle in retirement. Downsizing your home or trimming expenses now could help you stay comfy later, just in case the checks get smaller. #retirementplanning #socialsecurity #moneymoves #personalfinance #Finance105104Share
