This Simple Task Could Spare You a Reduced Social Security Benefit
There's a good chance you'll end up relying pretty heavily on Social Security in retirement. This holds true even if you bring some savings with you into retirement.
The reality is that many seniors wind up spending more than anticipated once their careers come to an end. Part of the reason boils down to healthcare costs. Not only do medical issues tend to arise as people age, but Medicare costs have been climbing steadily, making it harder for seniors to keep up.
Also, it costs money to stay busy and content in the absence of having a job. And so having a higher Social Security benefit could spell the difference between getting to enjoy retirement or winding up bored and restless.
