476 – Will Social Security Be There for Me?
Episode 476
Thursday, 16 July, 2026

I was at a speaking engagement this week, and we received several questions from the audience about Social Security. Questions like: When should I start Social Security—at 62 or 67? How do spousal benefits work? Will Social Security be there for me? In today's podcast, Tim and I discuss these important questions. We also talk about a new survey from the Reagan National Institute that found many Americans believe affluent households should bear more of the cost of funding entitlement programs. As always, I'll include links to the articles and resources we mention in today's show at SoundRetirementPlanning.com. Just click on Episode 476, titled "Will Social Security Be There for Me?" We're also hosting a special webinar on Social Security and how to integrate it into your retirement plan. If you'd like to attend and see how we help our clients determine the right time to claim Social Security benefits, simply visit the show notes and click the webinar registration link.
