Maximizing Your Social Security
For many Americans, Social Security benefits are one of their most important retirement assets. Unfortunately, too many decide to begin taking their benefits early, with no advice and without taking their spouse’s Social Security decision into account.
For many Americans, Social Security benefits are one of their most important retirement assets. Unfortunately, too many decide to begin taking their benefits early, with no advice and without taking their spouse’s Social Security decision into account. A well-researched strategy for claiming Social Security benefits specific to your circumstances and retirement goals can make a substantial difference in your financial well-being, retirement lifestyle options, and the overall success of your retirement. For some of our high net-worth clients, Social Security is only a small portion of their retirement income needs. However, given that Social Security is a guaranteed income stream for life with inflation adjustment, it can also be a crucial part of planning for the surviving spouse. Considering the many ways that you can claim Social Security, it makes sense to optimize strategies to maximize your benefits and add alpha to your wealth.
With Social Security benefits backed by the U.S. government, once you’ve considered and have made your choices, you will also receive an annual cost-of-living adjustment. We like our clients to view their Social Security benefits like an inflation-adjusted lifetime income annuity. In 2022, the Social Security Administration announced a major cost-of-living increase of 8.7% to offset inflation of 8.3%. This is the biggest increase since 1981.
When it comes to planning your retirement income, it’s incredibly important to consider the social security benefits you’ll be earning. Unfortunately, it’s not as cut and dry as just relying on a given number — the amount of your social security benefits are determined by a number of factors.
There are several things you can do to maximize your social security.
