Episode 255
Most experts say the smartest Social Security move is to wait until age 70 to claim.

But here’s what's interesting: only about 10% of Americans actually wait that long. 🤯
Nearly one-third claim Social Security at 62, and the majority file before full retirement age.
So are millions of retirees making a huge mistake… or is the conventional wisdom missing something?
In today’s episode, I’m sharing findings from a new research paper showing why delaying until 70 isn’t always the clear-cut, no-brainer strategy it’s made out to be.
