If you collect Social Security and you're younger than full retirement age, then you can earn up to $16,920 in income in 2017 and still collect 100% of your Social Security payment. The average American's retirement savings remains anemic, wages are only inching higher, and employers continue to abandon pension plans.
As you know, Social Security has an earnings penalty, which governs how much money you can make while at the same time receiving benefits. Exceed an annual cap (it's currently $14,160 a year) and you'll lose part or even all of your benefit. However, the penalty applies only to people between 62 and full retirement age. If you decide to wait until 66, you should apply to Social Security three months before your birthday. You can apply online, by phone (1-800-772-1213) or by going to a local Social Security office (call ahead for an appointment).
