Delay Social Security with part-time work

Working part-time for three or four years after your full retirement age lets you postpone Social Security. Each year you wait adds 8% to your benefit, so claiming at 70 instead of 66 increases it by 32%. That larger check means you withdraw less from savings each month, making your nest egg last longer.
