I started my SS at 62 1/2, my wife who is 20 months younger than me started at 62. With my pension for working 25+ years we’re doing just fine.That was over 3 years ago & we never looked back. Haven't touched our investments other than to travel. I had two brothers die of cancer 3 years apart. One died at 62 & never drew a dime of his SS. The other died at at 65 & drew 10 months. Let's be honest here, the reason the Government is offering you a bigger payday at 70 is because they're banking on you not making it!
@eabhaconnor24 ай бұрын
I'm sorry about your brothers. Waiting for higher SS payouts can indeed feel risky. that's why it's important to consider planning for retirement early. Have you thought about working with a financial advisor? In my opinion They can help make your money work better for you in retirement and plan for unexpected expenses. It might give you more peace of mind and help you enjoy your retirement more. Best wishes!
@carolannrykowski40534 ай бұрын
So true! I’m 63, and just applied for SS. 10% of my graduating class in high school (1978) are dead already. I’m taking the money now; I might not make it till 70, with how stressful my life has been

You're right connor about the importance of having an advisor, especially for retirees. As a businessman, I've worked closely with my advisor to grow my portfolio from $200k to $1.8 million through stock trading. Despite the current instability in the stock market, she still manages to make profits. Now, I can take charge of my financial future without having to rely solely on the government's payouts to support myself and family.

True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.
@mariaguerrero084 ай бұрын
I fully agree and place great value on my advisor's role in guiding my daily investments. They excel in both long and short strategies, managing risk for potential gains and protection against market downturns. Their access to exclusive insights and in-depth analysis makes exceeding expectations a regular outcome. In the two-plus years I've worked with my advisor, I've gained over 1.2million dollars.
