Get rid of debt before you retire
To make sure you don’t have too many things to pay for in retirement, when your main source of income is your Social Security, try to pay off all your debts before leaving the workforce. This includes credit card bills, mortgages and the like.
Once these debts are out of the way, you can concentrate on using your benefits for your daily needs instead of wasting them on items you bought in previous years.
