Social Security Timing
Show Notes: https://cardinalguide.com/wp-content/... The age (62-70) that you choose to start collecting Social Security dictates the size of your Social Security check in your 80’s and 90’s. If you collect the larger check as a couple, taking Social Security early diminishes your spouse’s survivor benefit. A common rebuttal to this line of thinking: “Look at all the checks I am missing in my 60’s for uncertain money in my 80’s and 90’s.” Go talk to some people in their 80’s and 90’s and find out how much they rely on their Social Security check.
