Social Security decisions are far more complex than choosing between 62, 67, or 70. In this episode, Jim Fox breaks down why common Social Security advice often misses the mark and how claiming decisions can impact taxes, spousal benefits, retirement income, and long‑term flexibility. The conversation explores widespread misconceptions, coordination with Roth conversions, and why one‑size‑fits‑all strategies don’t work. Jim explains why understanding how Social Security fits into your full retirement picture is important—and why getting it wrong can have lasting consequences for both you and your spouse.
