Social Security—so in 2024, if you decide you want to take out early Social Security, which means you’re 62 and older but not at your full retirement age, you can earn up to $22,320. If you make more than that, you’ll have to pay back $1 for every $2 over. And if you earn more than $59,000, you have to pay back $1 for every $3 over.
So bottom line—if you’re going to work, make sure your income stays low enough. Otherwise, you might want to think twice about getting onto early Social Security.
