Your Social Security Check Is Going Up 3.3 Percent

I missed this in the craziness of the week (and coming back from Inman’s Miami Connect), but the Social Security Administration announced seniors will be getting a 3.3 percent boost in their paychecks.

Unless you’re only buying $4 prescriptions from Wal-Mart, that increase won’t be enough to cover health insurance increases, higher gas prices, higher energy costs, etc. But what the heck, it’s at least higher than you might have expected.
