Scenario

When couples struggle with Social Security timing decisions

My spouse and I are both 62 and eligible for early Social Security, but we can't decide whether to take it now or wait for full benefits, and every financial advisor gives us different advice based on different assumptions about how long we'll live and what the economy will do. We're paralyzed by trying to optimize a decision that depends on things we can't know.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are trying to make an irreversible financial decision based on unknowable future variables.
