Too Many People Are Making This Social Security Mistake
Most older Americans will end up depending on their Social Security benefits to some degree in retirement, so it pays to understand how the program works to ensure you're making the most of your monthly checks.
However, a whopping 57% of Americans don't check their online statements to see approximately how much they'll be receiving in benefits, according to the Social Security Administration. That can end up being a major mistake, because checking your future benefit amount could make it much easier to prepare for retirement.
