There’s plenty of Social Security advice out there, some of which goes against conventional wisdom.

Take this tip from Dave Ramsey, a financial mind who is known for his vast knowledge. While he isn’t the biggest fan of Social Security to say the least, he did note how those who claim early can come out ahead.

Those who claim benefits at 62 will have a lower amount than they would’ve had if they’d waited. So what’s the trick here? Invest it. Ramsey notes this is a way to grow your money. It’s very helpful if you can afford it. It’s also good for those who are avid investors, and want more funds to utilize.
