Social Security Mistakes

Show aired on June 19th, 2021

Eddie Holland, CFP®, CPA, CKA® joins Mike to discuss six common Social Security mistakes that the  Wall Street Journal outlined in a recent article:

  1. Worrying about dying too young
  2. Waiting too long to claim
  3. Not working because of the earnings limit
  4. Not filing for widow’s or widower’s benefits
  5. Getting divorced and remarried (at the wrong time)
  6. Hitting tax torpedoes

Are you at risk of making any of these mistakes?

They also answer a caller question regarding certain employer pension plans, in this case the railroad, and claiming social security  benefits.
