The Senior Show – Social Security, Spousal Planning & Retirement Decisions That Last – S1E22

Let’s get into it—this is The Senior Show!

In this episode of The Senior Show, Tim Kennedy hosts solo while Neil Himmelstein takes the week off, using the July 4th weekend as a backdrop to discuss independence, retirement planning, and Social Security strategy. Tim explains why Social Security is often one of a retiree’s largest lifetime assets and why decisions about when to claim benefits should be coordinated carefully, especially for married couples and surviving spouses. He also discusses the importance of speaking with qualified professionals, such as a Registered Social Security Analyst, rather than relying on casual advice or assumptions. The episode also connects Social Security planning with broader retirement decisions, including reverse mortgages, home equity, long-term cash flow, tax-efficient income, aging in place, relocation, family support, and planning for each stage of life before major changes happen.
