Some Smartphones Worth $300 in Walmart's Trade-In Program

Walmart will begin offering store credit toward new smartphones for trade-ins on Sept. 21.

More than 100 models will be accepted for somewhere between $50 (a Samsung Galaxy S2) and $300 (an iPhone 5) in credit, it says. The full list of phones and their values isn't online yet, although ads for the program say it will appear at www.walmart.com/tradeineligibility.

To participate, bring the phone to a Walmart or Sam's Club electronics department. An associate will ask questions about the device's condition and specifications. The phone must be "in working condition without having a cracked or broken screen or housing or any sign of liquid damage."

How to Estimate Your Social Security Benefits

Whether you're getting close to retirement or planning for the future, you can estimate your Social Security benefits.

The estimator gives you an idea of what your monthly Social Security benefits would be, based on your current record of Social Security earnings. Your actual benefit amount cannot be determined until you apply for benefits. 

As you plan for your retirement, keep in mind that you'll need 70-90 percent of your pre-retirement earnings to maintain your standard of living when you stop working. Social Security benefits will only make up a part of this percentage and should be supplemented by a pension, savings, and/or investments. Check out 10 Ways to Prepare for Retirement.
