Today we are covering two different listener questions. James is asking about starting SocialSecurity at 62. You might be amazed how many times I get that question in my office. And then Barry wants to talk through life insurance, seems to think he has a lot of it and wants to know whether he should cancel some of it. These are two core areas of planning so let’s talk through how they should come to a decision.
If you’ve ever wondered how we work through these major planning items with clients, today’s show will pull back the curtain a bit and really get into the details of the process. We’ll tell you what tools we use and what factors we want to consider when dealing with both life insurance and Social Security. So whether you’re specifically curious about these topics or not, this episode will give you some great insight into making big financial decisions.
