Inflation is slowing, which means Social Security checks may not increase as much in the future. To prepare, retirees can:
* Earmark extra cash to stash away for emergencies.
* Take advantage of higher interest rates on savings accounts and certificates of deposit.
* Review monthly expenses and cut back where possible.
* Consider investments, such as annuities, to supplement income.
* Seek guidance from a financial advisor to plan for retirement needs.
