Thomas Batterman, Financial Fiduciaries LLC WI Can Help You Steer Clear Of Retirement Pitfalls

· Tom Batterman,Financial Fiduciary

Social Security is not, nor has it ever truly been, a retirement account. While the monthly Social Security payments will serve as a supplement to your life-long savings, you’ll need the latter amount to truly live comfortably in your golden years. Adding insult to injury, according to a recent Financial Planning magazine article, is the fact that a recent study found that the amount retirees will receive may be smaller than they expect. “Delaying the benefit will result in a higher monthly payout but many seniors are forced to retire early and end up receiving a reduced benefit,” the magazine states, an expert fiduciary deals with questions about Social Security payments often and. He does, however, knows that this essential federal service is an important piece of the retirement puzzle to keep in mind.

According to a Fox Business article, there are a few roads to take toward retirement. Those who expect to work until they are 70 often don’t make it that far due to unexpected health complications. Conversely, folks who bow out at 62 won’t receive the largest Social Security payments possible. That’s because the program is designed to pay out more to those who stay in the system – and thus contribute – longer. “After you reach your full retirement age, you can earn as much as you want without having any of your Social Security income held back,” the Fox Business article states. “However, if you claim early and your earnings exceed a set limit, your Social Security income will be reduced.”
