Social Security Planning is such an important part of retirement planning for the baby boomer generation! Retirement for this generation is a second or third career in life. It is so important to get it right, to make an informed decision based on your personal situation! Let’s take ownership of this program! Truly understand what Social Security benefits represent. They represent an investment that we have made. The loose definition of an investment is any time we put aside money and we choose when to access that money. With Retirement benefits, that is exactly what we are doing, we are choosing when to receive our benefits. Knowing our options helps us make a better decision! Our decisions have a long reaching impact!
