Netflix Viewing Time Declines Amid Retirement Financial Advice
What happened
Jefferies reportedly estimated that average monthly viewing time for a Netflix member fell by roughly 26%, dropping from 66 hours in the first half of 2023 to 49 hours in the first half of 2026. Separately, a report detailed that retirees past full retirement age face no Social Security earnings limit, allowing simultaneous income from a salary and monthly benefits.

Why it matters
The decline in viewing time is linked to changes in consumer behavior, such as retirees taking jobs to combat boredom. This shift in activity can potentially increase Social Security benefits, though working wages may also push benefits into taxable territory.
