What if the Social Security claiming strategy that sounds best actually leaves you worse off in the long run? In this episode, Annetta Carter explains why deciding when to claim Social Security is about much more than maximizing your monthly check. She discusses how taxes, Medicare premiums, income needs, longevity, and retirement goals all play a role in the decision. The conversation also explores family expectations around inheritances, why estate planning conversations matter, and how retirement planning works best when every piece of the puzzle is considered together rather than in isolation.
