This Could Be the Easiest Social Security Mistake to Avoid
When it comes to claiming Social Security, there are lots of things that could possibly go wrong. But one mistake that could hurt you financially throughout retirement is completely and utterly avoidable.
The monthly benefit you're eligible to collect in retirement will be based on your lifetime earnings -- specifically, your average monthly wage, adjusted for inflation, during your 35 highest-paid years in the workforce. But there's a specific age at which you're entitled to that benefit, and it's known as full retirement age, or FRA for short.
