Stop Trying so Hard to Boost Your Social Security Benefits. Instead, Boost This.
Scour the internet, and you're apt to come across plenty of advice for boosting your Social Security benefits. Growing your job skills to set yourself up for higher wages, for example, is one way to get more money out of the program.
You could also plan to delay your filing until the age of 70. Doing so will set you up for the highest monthly benefit you're eligible for, based on your personal earnings history.
While it's certainly not a bad thing to try to boost your monthly Social Security benefit, it's not the only thing you should fixate on boosting. It's just as important to do what you can to grow your savings.
