4 Social Security Steps to Take 10 Years Before You Retire
If you're planning to rely on Social Security to any degree during retirement, it's important that you start thinking about your benefits way ahead of that milestone. Here are four moves it pays to make 10 years before you think you'll leave the workforce for good.
Knowing how much Social Security income you have to look forward to will help you make important retirement decisions. The good news is that getting an estimate of your benefits is easy. Just create an account on the Social Security Administration's website and access your annual earnings statement there (it will start coming in the mail once you turn 60). Each year, you'll see what your monthly benefit at full retirement age will look like.
