Roadmap to Retirement by Thrive Financial Services

Studies have consistently shown that people getting ready for retirement don't have an accurate sense of how much money they're actually going to receive from Social Security. If you're one of those people and you overestimate the program's generosity, you could end up with some real problems in your retirement budget. So today, we're going to try to help and clear up some of those few misconceptions about Social Security.

There's also a lot of misinformation out there today. The government has made some changes that Bret will address related to the benefit choices that you can take with Social Security. But there still are some election choices that are available that people that don't think that ... both financial advisors, financial professionals, and consumers think that they're completely gone, and that's not true. So there's still some avenues available where you can end up maximizing that benefit.

It's that time of the year to start to understand that and to start itemize that, figure that out, and start to create those bullet points and those areas that you want to focus on as we rap of 2017 and look towards 2018.
