028: 4 Things to Know Before Claiming Social Security (Part 3)

You may be getting ready to tuck into your favorite holiday movie, but not quite yet! There’s more to learn about Social Security, thanks to Retirement Equals Freedom’s very special Part III episode all about the gift that keeps on giving!

Host Josh Bretl, founder of FSR Wealth Strategies, is closing out the year with a recap and deeper dive into some of the variables we all need to weigh when deciding when to tap federal benefits.

He’s explaining the potholes that often trip up retirees and suggesting strategies to consider when making these all-important decisions, including a look at the financial legacies we want to leave and the amount of taxes we want to pay (or avoid paying) Uncle Sam.

You’ll also enjoy some fun revelations about how Josh and Dave (that’s co-host, high school bestie and all-around impresario Dave Schmidt) relax their minds (interesting revelations!) and why having a good coach is important when it comes to making tactical decisions (about both passing the ball and maximizing our assets in retirement).

Time to celebrate the season with more Retirement Equals Freedom wisdom – and a cup of good cheer! And we look forward to seeing you in the year ahead!
