Robyn Anderson+FollowCleveland homeowners: Don’t let USPS delays cost youHeads up, Cleveland! Property tax bills are dropping next week, but this year, mailing your payment could be riskier than usual. The USPS now only picks up mail once a day, which means if you send your check close to the Feb. 19 deadline, it might not get postmarked in time—even if you mailed it on the right day. That could mean late fees! To avoid headaches, consider paying online, by phone, or in person, or ask for a hand-stamped postmark at the post office. How are you planning to pay your taxes this year? #Business #MakeMoney #Cleveland00Share
Robyn Anderson+FollowDon’t Let Social Security Trip You Up!Thinking about cashing in on Social Security early? Here’s the catch: once you pick your start date, you’re pretty much stuck with that monthly check for life. Claiming early feels good now, but it means less money every month—forever. Plus, spousal benefits and working while collecting can also lock in your future income. So, before you hit “claim,” take a coffee break and double-check your plan. A little patience now could mean a lot more lattes later! #Business #MakeMoney #MoneyLifehacks20Share

Stay on top of payments and don’t be afraid to ask for help—credit isn’t just a number, it’s your money passport! #Business #MakeMoney #CreditScore00Share
Christine Baxter+FollowHow I Decide Which Bills Get Paid FirstWhen money’s tight, not all bills are created equal. The smart move?

It’s all about protecting your basics before worrying about the extras! #Business #MakeMoney #MoneyHacks00Share

Christine Baxter+FollowWould You Go Cash-Only for a Month?Ever thought about ditching your cards and paying only with cash?

nkent+FollowThe Social Security Surprise Nobody Warned Me AboutHeads up if you’re counting on Social Security: a quiet rule change means filing for benefits early could shrink your monthly check more than you expect. The government keeps nudging up the age for “full” benefits, so if you claim at 62, you’ll get a bigger haircut than your parents did. It’s not just fine print—this can mean hundreds less each month, and it’s tough to fix after you’ve filed. Before you pick a date, double-check your numbers and keep some backup savings handy! #Business #MakeMoney #retirementplanning30Share
