The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is up 18% in 2023, but the gains have been far from linear. Instead, the stock market has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs as investor sentiment has whipsawed in response to various signals. The benchmark index shot higher in the first half of the year, rebounding from bear market lows amid signs of economic resilience, better-than-expected earnings, and enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence.

In October, the nearly 50 million retired workers who received a Social Security check brought home an average payout of $1,843.96.

When people think about retirement savings, the 401(k) plan seems to be the first thing that pops into their heads. For decades, it has been the go-to retirement account, used by millions to help secure their financial future. The 401(k) is a cornerstone of retirement planning -- it's tax-friendly, hands-off, and convenient. Despite how revered the 401(k) seems to be, crowning it the ultimate one-stop shop retirement account might be a stretch.

There are lots of different ways to invest in the stock market, but one of the best approaches is to add to your winners. Rather than taking profits early, it's a much better move to feed your best-performing stock, as winners tend to keep winning in the stock market. Adding $5,000 to some of your top stocks could be a genius move, as that's not an unaffordable amount of money, but it's still enough to make a difference over the long run as it compounds.

When you are looking at passive income stocks, you have to balance yield against other factors or you risk getting caught up in a dividend cut. In fact, lower-yielding investments with strong dividend growth histories are often the better option if you tend to think in decades when you buy a stock.

Some seniors, in fact, can only pay their bills because they're eligible for Social Security, and without those benefits, they'd essentially be unable to get by. But Social Security is facing a major financial shortfall that could impact the program's ability to pay benefits in a serious way.
