1. Higher Social Security payouts are possible for some people by using 401(k) savings as a bridge, and delaying receiving their Social Security benefits, said financial advisors in an AARP Planning For Retirement article. Each year they wait to collect they can get an 8 percent increase, advisors said, but added that not everyone is eager to tap into long-term savings. Michael Solari, principal in Solari Financial Planning in Bedford, New Hampshire, explained there is concern and worry about running out of money," adding that some clients may have already experienced this with their parents.
