Ep. 68: 9 Reasons to Claim Social Security Early

The default assumption for many online social security calculators, financial planning tools and expert advice tells you to DELAY Social Security as long as possible!  After all, that does yield the highest monthly benefit, assuming you wait until age 70.

Well, that may not be the best strategy for you!  

In this episode, I am going to break down 9 reasons why you may want to claim Social Security early!   

As always, everyone’s situation is unique, so please consult with your own advisors before making any changes!  This is for educational purposes only.

I hope you find it helpful.
