I have heard that if you are receiving the social security retirement pension and are under 70, you are limited on how much other income you can make. Is that true? One of my favorite activities is making money, and I don't want anyone trying to stop me or slow it down. I'm 63 and haven't seriously looked into SS. At the present, I'm happy with my business and my income. If i could start getting the SS $ now, but still be able to earn, maybe I'd take it.
