💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: Social Security recipients are likely poised to receive a big boost in their checks in 2020. With inflation spiking, the 68 million beneficiaries are projected to receive a cost-of-living adjustment of 6% to 6.1%, according to the Senior Citizen League. That would far outpace the average 1.4% increase since 2010. For the average retiree receiving a monthly check of $1,559, a 6% rise would translate into $93.54 in extra funds.
