Social Security: 2 Ways to Boost Your Benefits Up to $800 per Month
For millions of retirees, Social Security benefits make up a substantial amount of income. The average beneficiary collects just over $1,500 per month from Social Security, and that money can go a long way toward enjoying a comfortable retirement.
However, it likely won't cover all your future expenses. If your savings are falling short and you expect to depend on your benefits for a large portion of your income, it pays to ensure you're earning as much as possible from Social Security.
Fortunately, there are ways to increase the size of your checks. By taking advantage of either of these strategies, you could potentially boost your benefit amount by hundreds of dollars per month.
