Retirement, Answered — Social Security Timing: File Early or Hold Out?
When should you claim Social Security, and what does that decision really cost you over time?
In this episode of the Retirement GPS Podcast, Ryan and Zane break down the strategy behind claiming at 62, full retirement age, or 70. This isn’t just about getting your money sooner. For married couples especially, Social Security is often a survivor income decision, not a “right now” decision.
