The Costly Assumption Behind Claiming Social Security Early

Is Social Security really going broke, and does that mean you should take it as soon as possible? In this episode, Randy and Peggy Fisher unpack one of the most common—and emotional—retirement misconceptions. They discuss how Social Security is funded, what could change in the future, and why rushing to claim benefits without context can create long-term tradeoffs. The conversation also explores income gaps, survivor benefits, and why one-size-fits-all advice misses the mark.
