Listen "Social Security: The Bridge Strategy!"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever wondered what a Social Security bridge strategy is? In this episode, Floyd Shilanski, CFPⓇ breaks down how these strategies can help retirees wait to claim Social Security and boost their lifetime income. Rather than filing for Social Security at 62, some retirees use their TSP, 401(k), or other savings to cover income needs until they reach full retirement age or even 70. Floyd discusses why living longer matters, how waiting can increase your monthly income, and why each person needs a plan that fits their situation. Most importantly, this episode focuses on planning, coordination, and making choices that fit you, instead of following advice from friends, neighbors, or social media. If you're getting close to retirement and unsure about when to claim Social Security, this episode will help you see your options and the pros and cons of each.
