Why You Shouldn't Claim Social Security Too Early w/ Jason Fichtner

About this episode
Most seniors claim Social Security at age 62, even though they take a 30% cut in benefits by not waiting until full retirement age. Economist Jason Fichtner says that's a mistake – unless you have no real choice. Waiting until 70, on the other hand, yields you a big increase in monthly benefits for life! And Jason should know. He was deputy commissioner and chief economist at the Social Security Administration - PLUS a professor and highly respected expert in the field of retirement security. Jason is on the Board of Directors of the National Academy of Social Insurance (NASI) and the FINRA Investor Education Foundation. This is a must-listen for anyone nearing retirement!
