Hi. I'm 57 years old, retired since age 51. Is there a way to have a business or tax strategy simply managing my investments while contributing or being able to have capital gains income count toward retirement benefits at age 62? I check my yearly Social Security benefits and they continue to lower every year since I retired from the workforce even though my capital gains taxes are more than they ever have been ... Thank You

Only earned income counts toward your future Social Security benefits. Income you are getting from investments will not increase your SS benefits.
