How To Increase Your Social Security Benefit By More Than $2,000 A Month
from The Josh Scandlen Podcast · host Josh Scandlen
Increasing your Social Security benefit is one of the easiest ways you can make sure you are squared away in retirement. Not only does Social Security grow each year with inflation, guaranteed. but because it's taxed more favorably than other accounts having more Social Security will reduce your taxes too. Plus, if you strategically plan your Social Security benefits you will also leave your surviving spouse in a much better place financially. So, given all these benefits, why, oh why, do MOST people take it at 62? For some, it's because they have no choice. They need the cash. For others though, well, I believe it's ignorance. Hopefully, this podcast and the webinar that you can find on my website at www.heritagewealthplanning.com/blog will help people. Watch the webinar for step by step on how to maximize your Social Security benefits.
