Thinking About Social Security Differently

Do you know when to start taking social security benefits?

Social security is one of the important things that fits into the five ways that we help clients. We help clients in five different respects; We call this a retirement game plan, the five pillars of a retirement game plan. First would be income planning, and this is where social security fits into play, and how you are going to manage income in retirement. Because you’re going to have an income gap where all of a sudden you retire and now you need to make sure that your income is matching your expenses.
