The majority of personal finance experts agree that waiting until you turn 70 to claim Social Security is a good bet. The advantage of waiting until 70 is clear: You get much bigger monthly checks. While you can claim benefits based on your own work record starting at age 62, you'll receive slightly bigger checks every month you delay beyond that. And the difference can add up.

By Sandy Schussel Most financial advisors occasionally receive an unsolicited referral from a client or another professional. Any advisor would want to make that happen more often, yet it appears random. You didn’t seem to do anything special to make it happen.

Many tech stocks surged over the past year thanks to factors such as the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. One stock that more than doubled in that time is Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META).

Shares have retreated from that, so is now the time to buy?

If you want to retire a millionaire, your 401(k) can be an incredibly powerful tool to get you there. Indeed, if you use it well, you might even be able to reach millionaire status just from your 401(k) plan on its own. Yet as powerful as a well-invested 401(k) plan can be, it's not a magic money making machine. You need to use it properly for it to give you your best shot of building that million-dollar nest egg.

In 2022 and 2023, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates numerous times in an effort to cool inflation. That's resulted in higher borrowing costs for consumers, which isn't a great thing. But on the plus side, higher interest rates mean that savers can now earn more in a CD. And that might seem like a hard opportunity to pass up. Many banks are offering CDs with yields between the 4% and 5% mark, depending on term.
