Bonus Interview: WBBM Noon Business Hour Feature: 6/17/19 Maximizing Social Security Benefits
In a ‘Noon Business Hour’ segment on WBBM Radio, Craig discussed how listeners can ensure retirement security in an age without pension plans. Craig believes social security will stick around for the long run and encouraged people to understand their opportunities so they can maximize every dollar they can get out of this entitlement system. He recommended listeners go to ssa.gov/myaccount and review their personal social security statement. Finally, Craig suggested that while it’s not for everyone, those who are interested in strong guarantees should consider taking a portion of their retirement savings and placing it into an immediate annuity to guarantee a second stream of guaranteed income.
