Making Sense of Social Security with Mary Beth Franklin

Social Security can feel highly complex and extremely overwhelming. Since its creation in 1934, over 2,700 rules have been created to govern its benefits. They’re not a whole lot of fun to read, think about, or try to make sense of - especially because they were made for a world that’s very different from the one we live in now. Few people understand this better than Mary Beth Franklin. Mary Beth is a benefits guru, a contributing editor at InvestmentNews, a nationally recognized expert in Social Security claiming strategies, and a frequent public speaker. With a background as a Capitol Hill reporter and experience as a retirement and tax editor at a national magazine, she’s an authority on retirement income planning. Today, Mary Beth joins the podcast to answer your many questions about Social Security. You’ll learn how Social Security became the overly complicated system that it is today, why you may want to delay taking your benefits (or take them early), and how best to accurately get a sense of when to start taking withdrawals (and what you’ll owe). Most importantly, you’ll find out how to avoid the bad advice that so many retirees get - and learn how to create a plan that will work for you and your family. ====================== Get Today's Show Notes! ====================== To get access to today's show notes, including transcript, audio, and links to resources mentioned, visit 📅 SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION: Book a 15-minute call with a Howard Bailey Advisor to see how the topics discussed here apply to your individual situation: 📧 WEEKEND READING FOR RETIREES: Receive CFP® insight on 4 hand-picked financial articles delivered straight to your Inbox each Friday: ==================== ABOUT YOUR HOST CASEY WEADE: Casey Weade is the CEO and Founder of Howard Bailey Financial.
