Social Security can be taken as early as age 62 and many people choose to do so either out of necessity or because they choose to do so fearing the money won’t be there later.

Unless you need it to make ends meet, delay Social Security until your full retirement age or later! Other topics include:

Creating a budget Getting the most out of your credit cards Retirement readiness testing
