3 No-Brainer Ways to Beat the Average $1,657 Social Security Benefit
A bigger Social Security benefit can go a long way toward providing more retirement security. While you'll always need savings to supplement your benefits, increasing the amount of your checks means getting more guaranteed lifetime income that's protected against inflation.
For the typical retiree, the average benefit in 2022 is just $1,657, which, as you can see, won't cover all of your costs. But the good news is, you may be able to beat this amount by quite a bit. In fact, the maximum benefit is a whopping $4,194 per month, although earning so much is out of reach for most retirees.
So, how can you up your own benefits above average? Just take these three steps.
