As life expectancy has grown, your retirement now can last between 20 and 30 years. So Social Security planning is
critical, no matter how much money you have. It can make a difference of hundreds of thousands of dollars. For example,
if you retire at age 62 and pass away at age 86, you’ll receive at least 25% less for 24 years. But, if you wait to retire at
age 70, you’ll receive 32% more for 16 years.
If your retirement income at age 66 was $2,000 per month, this could be a difference of over $200,000 during your
lifetime. Arriving at a decision on when to retire is not easy. If you retire early, it could affect your spouse’s benefits. And
wages and other taxable income could cause up to 85% of your Social Security benefits to be exposed to income taxes.
Proper planning takes all of these factors into account to determine a Social Security strategy. For instance, a repositioning
of assets could reduce taxable income and provide for more reliable monthly income.
With over 500 different combinations of factors affecting benefits, it makes sense to talk to a financial advisor and get it
right.
