Again, this is not suggesting that any quarterback has expressed interest in transferring, but given the landscape, Georgia\'s quarterback room lends itself to the question of what happens in the future. Kirby Smart named Carson Beck the starter for this season, which leaves Brock Vandagriff, who is a redshirt sophomore, and Gunner Stockton, who signed in the 2022 class, on the bench. Beck is a redshirt junior, so he would hypothetically have another season as the starter. Add in that Georgia has the No. 2 overall prospect, quarterback Dylan Raiola, committed in the 2024 class, and there is a logjam that could see someone leave. Right now, Georgia has a good problem -- several good quarterbacks. However, it eventually could create a scenario where the depth is depleted for the future. Smart went through this before when Justin Fields transferred while Jake Fromm was the starter, but it\'ll be a tricky situation to navigate with multiple quarterbacks on the roster who could play and contribute to a team.

If you expect Social Security benefits to be part of your retirement picture, it’s important to understand how much you might be able to collect. You can receive your full benefit amount when you retire at your normal retirement age, but it’s possible to take benefits as early as 62. Doing so, however, can shrink the amount you’re able to receive. On the other hand, you can increase your benefit amount by waiting until age 70 to apply. Deciding when to take Social Security benefits is another topic you may want to discuss with your financial advisor.
