That’s the claim in this piece by the Motley Fool.
- Myth 1: Social Security benefits will disappear in the future.
- Myth 2: You should always take Social Security benefits as soon as you qualify.
- Myth 3: What you do with your Social Security has no effect on your family.
I won’t take time here to review the answers. The article linked to is short enough to read in a few minutes. But there’s little doubt that Social Security is on the minds of more and more people–aka Baby Boomers–and rightly so.
By the way, the piece ends with a paragraph bearing this heading: The $15,978 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook. I clicked on the link and, well, I found the sales pitch pretty compelling. Unfortunately (fortunately?) the link to the thing being sold was down, so I can’t say more. I will when I have a chance to read more.
