Social Security is often treated as a simple decision — pick an age and file. But for couples, it is much more than that.

In this episode, Tyler Emrick, CFP®, CFA®, explains how Social Security decisions should be coordinated between spouses and why the timing of those decisions can impact your retirement income by $100,000 or more.

 

With growing concerns around system changes and long-term funding, making the right decision matters more than ever.

Tyler covers:

  • The three types of Social Security benefits couples need to understand
  • Why the higher earner’s decision has the biggest long-term impact
