The Social Security Decision Framework Nobody's Talking About

In this video, I break down how to decide the best time to start drawing Social Security. I explain how claiming early, waiting until full retirement age, or delaying until 70 affects your monthly benefit and lifetime payout. I also share how I think through factors like health, income needs, and taxes when helping people make this decision.
