Few retirement decisions have as lasting an impact as when you decide to claim Social Security. The decision permanently affects how much you receive, so it's not one you want to gloss over as insignificant. I recommend that retirees (or those approaching retirement) figure out their break-even age before claiming Social Security benefits. Your break-even age is when the total lifetime benefits from claiming at one age equal the total lifetime benefits from claiming at another age.

Having an extra $50,000 per year in retirement can alleviate concerns about whether you'll have enough money saved up by the time you stop working. And it's possible to accomplish that even if you don't have a big lump sum of money to invest right now. But you will need time. If you have 30 years to go before you plan to retire, I can show you how you can turn a recurring $300 monthly investment into some fairly safe exchange-traded funds (ETFs) into $50,000 in annual dividend income.
