Want More From Social Security? Patience Could Be the Key
People who retire with millions of dollars in savings may not care all that much about what Social Security pays them. But if you know you'll be heavily reliant on those benefits to get through your senior years, then it's important to score as high a Social Security paycheck as possible.
There are different steps you can take during your career to snag a higher benefit. Fighting for raises, for example, could be your ticket to more money since Social Security calculates benefits based on workers' individual wage histories. But if you really want to do your part to snag a more generous retirement benefit, you'll need to do one thing -- be patient.
