This Is a Great Way to Supplement Your Social Security Benefits
There's a good chance Social Security will play an important role in your retirement. After all, millions of seniors collect it today.
But you may be unpleasantly surprised to learn that Social Security only pays an average monthly benefit of $1,543 at present. Now if you're a higher earner, your benefit may be higher. And the age you land on for claiming benefits could also cause that number to change for the better.
But for the most part, Social Security doesn't pay seniors enough money to live on. Retirees who only have Social Security as an income source often struggle to manage their bills, especially since the program's annual raises have, in recent years, been less than generous.
