One of the most important decisions you will make in retirement is deciding when to collect your Social Security benefits. Social Security is a guaranteed lifetime annuity designed to pay you an inflation-protected income for as long as you live. But figuring out when to collect payments, especially if you are eligible for multiple benefits or coordinating with a spouse, can be nearly impossible. And here is the hard truth. Most retirees are giving up tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars because they collect their benefits too early. I hope you enjoy this episode of The Atomic Retirement podcast!
