Delaying Social Security Can Extend the Life of Your Savings
According to the Society of Actuaries, today's crop of retirees could live into their 90s. But will their bank accounts?
38% of retirees are afraid they will deplete their savings and be left with nothing more than social security.
One way to fix this potential problem is to delay starting social security payments for as long as you can. If you're 62 now, by holding off on those checks until age 70, it would increase your income by 76%. And of course social security is protected from inflation each year by cost of living increases.

Child Savings AccountsWhen opening a savings account for your child, make sure their Social Security number is used as the account's tax identification number. That way, as long as your child is under age 14, interest earned will be taxed at your child's lower tax rate, not at your tax rate. This rule holds true as long as your child earns less than $1,300 a year in interest. |
