Social Security at 62, 67, or 70: Which Age Pays More?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2047761/fan_mail/new] What if claiming Social Security at the "right" time could mean $200,000 more in lifetime benefits — or less, depending on your situation? In this episode, we break down one of the most consequential decisions Florida pre-retirees face: when to claim Social Security. Using a real-world case study of a couple in their early 60s with $1.5 million in net worth, we go beyond the basic breakeven math that mass-market advice stops at. We explore the tax implications, Medicare premium triggers, and portfolio sequencing strategies that fiduciary financial planning actually demands. Whether you're considering claiming at 62, waiting until full retirement age, or holding out until 70, this episode gives you a framework for thinking through the decision the way a fee-based advisor would. Retirement in Florida comes with its own unique planning opportunities — and this decision is too important to get wrong. Ready to talk? Schedule a complimentary discovery call at TDWealth.net.
