Your last day of work and the day you begin Social Security are two separate decisions.

You might retire and delay claiming. You might continue working and begin benefits. Or another approach may make more sense for your circumstances.

Continuing to work can also affect your benefit calculation because Social Security generally calculates retirement benefits using your highest 35 years of earnings.
The important thing is understanding how the pieces work together.

Build your Social Security decision around your life—not simply your retirement date.

You may be eligible to begin Social Security retirement benefits at age 62—but starting early generally means accepting a lower monthly benefit.

Waiting until your full retirement age means receiving your full retirement benefit, while delaying beyond that age can increase your monthly amount until age 70.

But a larger monthly check isn't the only consideration.

The more useful question may be:
How does Social Security fit into the income you'll need throughout retirement?
That changes the conversation from choosing an age to creating a strategy.

"One of the most common retirement questions is: “When should I start Social Security?”

The answer isn't the same for everyone.

Your retirement timeline, other income sources, health and longevity expectations, spouse's benefits, and overall financial plan can all influence the decision.
That's why we believe Social Security should be considered as part of your broader Empowered Retirement Journey™—not as a decision made in isolation.
Contact us at https://bit.ly/4qQnyID to work through your Social Security claiming decision before you make it.

Before year-end, get on the same page.

"August is a good time to pause and ask:
- Are we still aligned with our retirement goals?
- Are we comfortable with our income plan?
- Have our family priorities changed?
- Do we need to talk about adult children, gifting, or legacy?
- Are there planning conversations we should have before year-end?

Getting on the same page does not mean having every answer today. It means creating space for conversations that can lead to better decisions tomorrow.

Our Family Money Conversation Guide for Retirement can help you begin with simple, thoughtful prompts.

Legacy is about more than what you leave behind.

"Inheritance conversations can feel uncomfortable but avoiding them can leave loved ones with confusion later. Legacy planning is not only about assets. It is also about values, wishes, family priorities, and the people you want to take care of.

You may not need to share every financial detail with your family, but it can be helpful for the right people to understand:
- Who to contact if something happens
- Where important documents are kept
- What values matter most to you
- How you think about family support
- Whether your beneficiary designations reflect your wishes

Estate and tax decisions should be reviewed with appropriate qualified professionals. But the conversation often starts with clarity around what matters most. Our Family Money Conversation Guide for Retirement includes prompts to help you begin.
